Writing a New Society: Social Change Through the Novel in Malay
---
Virginia Matheson Hooker
This study is based on an analysis of Malaysia's best known 26 novels from the 1920s, where Hooker argues the various authors are in the process of attempting to frame a new Malay sense of identity in a time of great change. A principal characteristic of these novels is how they have switched from the traditional concentration on the life of the sultan and his court to the more private sphere or the ordinary Malay in her or his own home. Near Fine Hardback in a Fine Dust Jacket. 492 pages. with a bibliography and index.
