Beyond Boundaries : Exploring Diverse Fictional World

Beyond Boundaries: Exploring Diverse Fictional Worlds is a core textbook for II Semester BA English Honours under Calicut University’s FYUGP. It introduces students to a wide range of fiction and adaptations, focusing on genres such as gothic, detective, epistolary, and science fiction. With examples from classics and modern works—including Dracula (1958 film), Dune Part 1 (2021), Agatha Christie’s The Tuesday Night Club, and Alice Walker’s The Color Purple—the book helps learners analyze narrative techniques, deconstruct canons, and explore literature as both cultural reflection and agent of change.
