Pandemics in the English Canon reflects on the presentation of epidemics and pandemics in literature with special emphasis on The Last Man (1826) by Mary Shelley, The Scarlet Plague (1912) by Jack London, The Plague (1947) by Albert Camus and Oryx and Crake (2003) by Margaret Atwood. Based on the study of these literary texts, the book brings out the thematic patterns in Pandemic literature. It also explores the quintessential literary texts in Indian literature dealing with epidemics and pandemics along with their powerful messages. Likewise, it also gives a glimpse of the literary masterpieces in regional languages that depict the crisis of epidemics and pandemics.
