About the Book
This thorough critical study of Rajmohan's Wife, the first and only English novel by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, offers an in-depth examination of significant aspects of the work. The study covers its historical importance as the first English novel in India, the plot, characterization (with a focus on the heroine), and its portrayal of nature. The book also delves into themes like the suffering of women, the depiction of 19th-century rural Bengal, and the colonial character of the narrative. Furthermore, it discusses the style, imagery, and the abrupt ending of the novel, along with its allegorical elements and the unsatisfactory poetic justice. This work stands as the first comprehensive critical analysis of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay's text, and is deserving of recognition as a significant research resource.
