    Trabajo Fin de Grado Musical narrativities: Symbolising intertextualities and the musical characterization of the Tragic Hero in “An Equal Music” by Vikram Seth Autor/es JAVIER CEBOLLADA DESENTRE Director/es JOSE ÁNGEL GARCÍA LANDA Facultad de Filosofía y Letras 2015 Repositorio de la Universidad de Zaragoza – Zaguan http://zaguan.unizar.es The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of Vikram Seth’s An Equal Music (1999) by putting emphasis on the musical and literary figures through the narrative as a whole, focusing on exploring and defining the musical and literary intertextuality within the novel as well as the symbolism that emerges from some of these elements. Besides, throughout this analysis, the tragic hero’s portrayal of his identity as a character by means of musical associations will be reinforced. Hence, the paper proposes an analysis of the intersection between two arts within this fictional novel that deals with music in a highly detailed and realistic way. The alterity of these arts explored, music and literature, not only gives rise to a reconsidering and redrawing of boundaries but also examines in a broader sense the position and functions of these arts along with their power in confronting individuals’ inner conflicts. In terms of structuring my analysis, an introduction will be first presented divided in two sections. In the first part a recent inter-discipline of research will be exposed concerning music and literature, and in the second part an attempt to define some of the similarities of these ‘two-fields-in-one’, Musicology and Literature, will be carried out.

    Aleph Book Company to publish A Suitable Boy and A Suitable Girl by Vikram Seth Vikram Seth’s A Suitable Girl, the sequel to his award-winning, critically acclaimed bestseller, A Suitable Boy, which was published in 1993, and has since sold over a million copies around the world in twenty languages, will be published in the Indian subcontinent by Aleph Book Company, a company promoted by Rupa Publications India. While A Suitable Boy was set in 1950s India, and followed the lives and fortunes of four families, with its focus on the eorts of Lata Mehra’s mother to nd her "a suitable boy" to marry, the sequel will revolve around the stories of Lata’s grandchildren and the events of the present day. Publication is set for autumn/winter 2016. Rupa Publications India will also publish through Aleph Book Company the twentieth anniversary edition of A Suitable Boy. One of the longest novels ever written in the English language, it was hailed worldwide on publication (“puts a subcontinent between hardcovers” wrote the Sunday Times), and has continued to attract millions of fans ever since. One recent reader review on Amazon called it "the ultimate book on India" — evidently, its vast and rich attractions continue to remain as bright and alluring today as they were when the book was rst published. Said Vikram Seth: "I am delighted to be working with David Davidar and Kapish Mehra. My publishing relationship with David goes back twenty-ve years, and I have more respect and aection for him than for any other editor.

BEGINNINGS OF INDIAN LITERATURE: The ancient Indian literary tradition was primarily oral i.e. sung or recited. As a result, the earliest records of a text may be later by several centuries than the date of its composition. Furthermore, perhaps because so much Indian literature is re-working of the Sanskrit epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, and the mythological writings known as Puranas, the authors often remain anonymous. The Mahabharata is said to be the longest poem in the world at 100,000 stanzas strong. The Mahabharata is eight times longer than Homer‘s two epics (the Illiad and the Odyssey) combined! Amir Khusroo – a 13th century Sufi philosopher and poet from India once visited Iran. In Iran he was asked to introduce himself. And his response was marvelous: ―Why are you asking me to introduce myself! I am a parrot of India? i. Medieval India themes In medieval Indian literature the earliest works in many of the languages were sectarian, designed to advance or to celebrate some unorthodox regional belief.

Satara Maharashtra (India) ABSTRACT : This paper is an effort to show the representation of women in the Indian English literature post-1980 with special reference to Vikram Seth’s A Suitable Boy (1993). Vikram Seth is a celebrated Indian novelist of the present time whose writing gives minute observations of the world on this period. His first novel, The Golden Gate: A Novel in Verse (1986) goes on presenting experiences with certain friends living in California. The other acclaimed novel, An Equal Music (1999) giving a violinist’s story haunted by the memory of a former love, and his magnum opus A Suitable Boy showing the story of a young girl named Lata Mehra. The novel is a thorough representation of the institution of marriage in India. A Suitable Boy throws a light on the variety of cultures, religions, and people in India. However, the main focus of the novel is the theme of the institution of marriage and the family system. There are four main families mentioned in the novel. The first is of the Mehras of which Mrs Rupa Mehra is one of the central characters, mother to Lata, searching for a suitable boy. She is having four children in all, Arun, Savita, Varun and Lata.

For this purpose Vikram Seth’s novels The Golden Gate, A Suitable Boy, and An Equal Music have been taken into consideration. Though all the novels are set in the background of three distinct countries and the main purpose of marriage is to have a life partner but Seth has made marriage to have an influential place in the society and to have glorious victory over love, romance, and passion. This brief research will analyse the importance of marriage and family in human life and people’s preference for marriage and family than transient relationship as: romance, love, and passion. Marriage has been proved as an everlasting social relationship and eternal source of bliss and satisfaction than the fleeting and unrealistic relationship of romance and love which is based on lust and infatuation. Marriage or to choose when and whom to marry is a fundamental human right which is provided without any discrimination on the basis of sex. Marriage is an individual settlement “between two consenting heterosexual adults to be legitimate” (Chowdhry 22 Feb. 2016). On the other hand, romance means a short and exciting relationship between two people who are in love with each other.

    Notes Introduction 1. See Chapter 2, Section I. 2. Clingman’s ideas about transnational (fictional) literature are explored in detail in Section IV of this chapter. 3. Complications of the monolithic idea ‘The West’ are presented by several critics: Stuart Hall explains that ‘“the West” is a historical, not a geographical construct. By “western” we mean […] a society that is developed, industria- lized, urbanized, capitalist, secular, and modern […] Nowadays, any society which shares these characteristics, wherever it exists on a geographical map, can be said to belong to “the West”’ (1996, 186); Neil Lazarus asserts that ‘the West’ is ‘an ideological category masquerading as a geographical one’ (2002, 44); and Timothy Brennan describes ‘the West’ as ‘a historical rather than a geographical construct’ (2007, 43). 4. The first edition of Postcolonial Studies: The Key Concepts was published over a decade after Ashcroft, Griffiths, and Tiffin were among the first to offer an historical summary of the field: ‘The development of colonial discourse theory, in the work of Gayatri Spivak and Homi Bhabha, follow[ed] on from Edward Said’s landmark […] Orientalism (1978)’ (1989, 197). My own summary is by no means a comprehensive list, but traces one of numerous trajectories through the subject. 5. Although this monograph is written from a literary-critical perspective, Ang’s and Tölölyan’s analyses do of course raise ideas about other contem- porary economic and political incarnations of the ‘transnational’ such as in the term ‘TNCs’ (transnational corporations). Peter Gran’s 2009 study of the world economy, for example, states that the ‘core meaning [of transnational- ism] seems to be one based on the assumption of the existence of the TNC as the embodiment of market autonomy and of economic rationality in that market’ (2009, 13).
