He holds a PhD in English from Queen’s University (2004), and an M.Phil from the University of Delhi (1999). Dr. Sapra’s book The Limits of Orientalism: Seventeenth-Century Representations of India (2011), while critiquing Postcolonial appraisals of Early Modern European representations of India, demonstrates how these representations anticipate nineteenth and twentieth-century portrayals of Indian natives, thereby contextualizing the portrayals of Hindus and Muslims in novels such as E.M. Forester’s A Passage to India. Dr. Sapra is a Managing Editor for the film section of the peer-reviewed Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism. His current research explores modernist translations of Shakespeare in India with a focus on the work of several influential writers such as Bhartendu Harishchandra, Jai Shankar Prasad, and Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
