Emerging Trends in Literature and Social Sciences

Literary authors have produced considerable works during their lifetime and the eighteenth century marked the beginning of Indian English Literature. It is believed that literature is the mirror of society and a true picture of man’s consequences. Literature aims to teach and delight. Sometimes literature is used for propaganda and condemnation of vices. Literary authors have tried to awake the man’s soul by their writings. Literature is closely related to man’s life. As man faces good or bad consequences, his life never runs smoothly. Literary authors show man’s conflict during a particular period in their works. Greek tragedians accepted the role of destiny in man’s life and produced considerable tragedies in Greek literature. Shakespeare considered life as a tale told by an idiot in his tragedy Hamlet. He talks about human weaknesses by presenting tragic heroes in his tragedies. We can find optimism and pessimism in literature. So far as Indian literature is concerned, Rabindranath Tagore paved the way with his works for the Indian authors. This book is the study of literary authors’ writings in a new way. Social science is one of the branches of science, devoted for studying societies and the relationships among individuals within those societies. The term was formerly used to refer to the field of sociology, the original “science of society”, established in the 18th century.
