The Woman in the Novels of Saul Bellow

The Book Presents In Brief A Critical Study Of Saul Bellow S Vision Of Woman In General. As The Novelist Has Presented A Variety Of Women Having Contradictory Traits, Any Attempt At Flat Generalisation Has Been Considered Forbidding. In Spite Of His Jewish Lineage And Specific Jewish Themes, Saul Bellow Has Established Himself As A Humanistic And Conscientious American Novelist. Hence, Such Conception, As Popular In Jewish Tradition, That His Woman Characters Must Occupy A Subordinate Place And Their Freedom Of Mind Shall Be Restricted, Seems To Be Futile. Far From Being Misogynous As It Is Sometimes Alleged By A Few Critics, His Vision Of Woman Appears To Be Balanced, Objective And Free From Personal Prejudice.The Book Is A Valuable Study On Nobel Laureate Saul Bellow, And All Those Who Admire His Works Would Find It Interesting And Useful As It Will Enable Them To See His Characters From A Different Perspective. Students And Also The Teachers Of English Literature Will Find It Highly Informative.

Communicative Methods In EltAn Indian Perspective

There Is No Denying The Fact That The Elt World Has Changed Drastically From The Teacher-Oriented To A More Learner-Oriented One. Unfortunately, India Is Too Slow To This Change. Barring A Few Educational Institutions We Continue To Carry On With The Old And Outdated Methods And Materials. English Is Still Taught Here As A Content Subject Rather Than A Language Subject . No Doubt, The Shift Is Not Easy To Achieve. In Fact, It Is Not As Much A Change In Materials As A Change In The Total Outlook And Behaviour. It Implies Looking At Language From A Whole New Perspective.It Is Against This Backdrop That The Present Book Has Been Written. It Aims At Providing An Insight Into Existing Language Teaching In India. It Discusses At Length All The Issues Related To The Indian Curriculum. Problems That Are Likely To Be Faced By Teachers, Students And Curriculum-Framers In Adopting This Method Are Discussed Thread-Bare And Proper Solutions Provided. It Is Hoped That The Book Will Be Of Great Help To Researchers, Scholars And Syllabus Framers, Besides Being A Reference Book For Students Of English Language And Linguistics.
