Congrats to Professors Sandeep Banerjee and Allan Hepburn on their new publications!

Associate Professor Sandeep Banerjee co-edited Partition, Belonging and the Birth of Bangladesh (Routledge, 2026) with Subho Basu.

This book traces the cultural and political economic routes through which East Pakistan was re-imagined as Bangladesh. It explores the social, cultural, and political strands that informed and influenced the experience of Bengali-speaking people in the region from 1947 to 1971 and beyond.

Distinguished James McGill Professor of Twentieth-Century Literature Allan Hepburn recently published Elizabeth Bowen in Context (Cambridge University Press, 2026) and Citizenship in Mid-Century British Literature: War, Statehood, Extinction (Oxford University Press, 2026) is upcoming in May 2026. 

Elizabeth Bowen in Context, edited by Prof. Hepburn, provides innovative, up-to-date essays about Elizabeth Bowen's fiction and integrates the latest thinking about her engagement, stances, and knowledge of twentieth-century literary movements.

In Citizenship in Mid-Century British Literature, Allan Hepburn explores the ways novelists speculated about how states come into existence, how long they last, and what causes them to fail or disappear.
