Siddhant Datta (siddhantdatta01@gmail.com) is a Master’s student at St. Stephen’s College, University of Delhi, India. His research interests lie in the transnational anglophone novel, the modernist novel, and their intersections with the colonial and neocolonial projects as moments generative of appropriations and connected histories. To trace lineages in neocolonial literature with its predecessor, often found couched in suspect invocations of modernity, lies at the heart of his engagement with globalisation studies.
