Heat and Dust (1975), Jhabvala's Booker winning and most well-known novel, which ensured her celebrity status in the literary world, is a delightful interrogation of the imperial and post-imperial discourses vis-à-vis India and England, as presented through the parallel lives of two English women in India, placed in two distinct historical contexts across half-a-century, in which the young narrator is set to restore the lost story of her predecessor from the 'heat and dust' of passion and oblivion.
The Atlantic Critical Study of Heat and Dust, which is primarily meant for the students of English literature of Indian universities, is a comprehensive, self-sufficient, and an in-depth study of the text. The present book provides a thorough and illuminating study of the text and examines it from such aspects as race relations, man-woman relations, themes, form, structure, and technique. In addition, it provides useful background materials related to Jhabvala's life, works, her vision of India, and a detailed critical summary of the entire text, along with a select bibliography and sample questions. The book will be immensely useful for students, scholars and teachers in the area.
