Can we get some study material or a list of prominent(for ugc net) authors for american and european literature?

Okay Sir, thanks a lot.

Yes Sir, I have prepared some of the new topics. But I am still a bit confused about the syllabus. Just to clarify once again - these are excluded: Commonwealth lit, American, European, Indian aesthetics, rhetoric and prosody, literary terms.

But, do we have to study contemporary fiction and poetry? If so, is it confined to British and Indian authors only? And what about literature in translation, especially Indian authors like Mahasweta Devi, Manto or Munsi Premchand?

My perception from the last exam is that don't exclude anything, but concentrate on the new topics throroughly such as INDIAN ENGLISH STUDIES, LINGUISTICS, CULTURAL STUDIES, RESEARSH METHODS

Indian writing in translation by proxy comes under Indian English, so it's included

Thank you Sir, this is very helpful.

Yes Sir, I have but I am still a bit confused about the syllabus.

what clarification you need ?

what confusion ? Let me know. I will try to resolve

Just to clarify once again, these topics are excluded: Commonwealth lit, American, European, Indian aesthetics, rhetoric and prosody, literary terms.

theoretically they are not there in syllabus.

But do questions come from these areas? And what about these topics - Indian lit in translation, contemporary fiction and poetry?

a working knowledge of the same will do. concentrate on New topics

don't get confused. do what is in syllabus first. follow the norms of prepration accordingly

I am trying for JRF this time. I am a little confused about the syllabus, as it has changed radically, since I qualified the NET exam 3years ago. Thank you Sir, for clarifying that these topics are not in the syllabus anymore.

.then focus on preparation of the new topics of the syllabus
