Abstract

This book presents a detailed study of Soshee Chunder Dutt, an early post-colonial Indian writer whose works reflect the intellectual and cultural transitions of his time. It explores his fiction, themes, and narrative style, highlighting his contribution to Indian English literature. The study places Dutt within the broader context of colonial and post-colonial discourse, examining issues such as identity, reform, and social change. Drawing on primary texts collected from archival sources, the book offers critical insights into his lesser-known writings. It aims to bring renewed attention to a neglected literary figure while contributing to the understanding of early Indian writing in English and its historical significance.
