How do her comments on writing relate to her works? The Hindi writer Krishna Sobti (1925-2019) is known primarily as a novelist. However, she also extensively wrote about her views on the creative process, the figure of the writer, historical writing, and the position of writers within the public sphere. This study is the first to examine in detail the relationship between Sobti?s views on poetics as exposed in her non-fictional texts and her own literary practice. The writer?s self-representation is analysed through her use of metaphors to explain her creative process. Sobti?s construction of the figure of the writer is then put in parallel with her idiosyncratic use of language as a representation of the heterogeneous voices of her characters and with her conception of literature as a space where time and memory can be "held." At the same time, by delving into Sobti?s position in the debate around "women?s writing" (especially through the creation of a male double, the failed writer Hashmat), and into her views on literature and politics, this book also reflects on the literary debates of the post-Independence Hindi literary sphere. 410 0$aWelten Süd- und Zentralasiens / Worlds of South and Inner Asia / Mondes de l'Asie du Sud et de l'Asie Centrale 610 $aHistorical fiction. 610 $aWomen in literature. 610 $aWriters and/in politics. 610 $atemporality and writing. 676 $a891.43371 700 $aVuille$b Rosine-Alice, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01264609 712 02$aSchweizerischer Nationalfonds (SNF)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996545360203316 996 $aKrishna Sobti?s Views on Literature and the Poetics of Writing$92965538 997 $aUNISA
