Life and Letters: A Critique is a compilation of my articles, published in research journals and anthologies, over the years. These articles were penned after every read that captivated my mind and compelled me to critically appraise the artistic work. The masters unleashed their creativity and the critics came up with their critical views and reviews about the same in their distinct ways. I delved into both to present forth a consciously limited array of articles that showcase the works of wordsmiths through the prism of my modest endeavor to see through them. I hope this book proves useful to all aficionados of literature who are keen to immerse mindfully in the critically appreciated writings of some of the great minds of modern English literature.
