HELE Webinar – 3, jointly organised by AINET – Association of English Teachers, HELE-India Group and HELE Society.
Title: Beyond "Impressionistic" History: A Case Study of the First Shakespeare Adaptation in India
Speaker: Prof. Sunil Sagar, Department of English Studies, Central University of Gujarat
Date: Friday, 20 March 2026
Time: 7.00 PM (India Time)
In this insightful session, Prof. Sagar will revisit the first Indian adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew (1852 Gujarati rendering) and raise important questions about translation history in India. The webinar will encourage us to move beyond impressionistic narratives and adopt research grounded in archival evidence. This promises to be a significant academic discussion for scholars and teachers of English, translation studies, and nineteenth-century literature.
