DESCRIPTION
The book is a pioneering attempt to discover relationship between history and literature. Foucault is a historian of ideas and that is where from images come and form structures. The author diligently analyses each of Foucault's major works. The value of the book is enhanced by the author's application of Foucault's theory upon Mulk Raj Anand's Untoucables.
