Dear Readers & Contributors,
This autumn issue of IJELLS as revisited the old and brought in the new. It is an issue which compiles many poems, interesting articles on various aspects and on the areas that are fast expanding the scope of English Literature, bringing in multidisciplinary elements, demonstrating how it should truly be. One interesting article is on Janakpur art along with another very interesting art on a Telugu novella Atadu Adavini Jayinchaadu. Taking it further on this path of uniqueness is an article on a Telugu novel Antarani Vasantham.
We also have a couple of articles on Literature & film discussing Cultural Diversity in Literature and Film and Post-97 Hong Kong films .
Happy Reading and Sharing!
