Ashish Alexander is Head, Department of English, at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad, India. The basic impulse of this essay comes from a paper Dr Alexander presented at the 5th SAIACS Academic Consultation 2017 held from 28 to 30 August 2017 in Bangalore. It draws from that paper, though it has been thoroughly revised and organised with some new sections added to it.
