- Summary:
- Anjali Nerlekar's Bombay Modern relocates the genre of poetry to the center of both Indian literary modernist studies and postcolonial Indian studies. It uncovers an alternative and provincial modernism through poetry, a genre that is marginal to postcolonial studies, and through bilingual scholarship across English and Marathi texts, a methodology that is currently peripheral at best. Eschewing any attempt to define an overarching or universal modernism, Nerlekar Focuses on "Bombay" and to the "post-1960" (sathottari) period to examine the specific way in which this poetry redeployed the regional, the national, and the international to create a very tangible yet transient local.
