| Article Name : | | | The Sociology Of Literature: A Study Of Gatekeepers Of Literature | | Author Name : | | | Arun Murlidhar Jadhav | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-2921 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | The sociology of literature is a study of the socio-cultural contexts of the day, the sociology of the writer and gatekeepers of literature that determine the existence and success of a literary work. The documentary or realistic approach to sociology of literature has a long and distinguished history, but it ignores the sociology of the writer and the gatekeepers of literature comprising the publishers, distributors, reading public, critics, censors and the public libraries. The Marxist approach also ignored the role of gatekeepers in the creation of literary works. It is in the works of modern sociologists of literature that we get the focus on the role of gatekeepers which determine the creation and success of literary works. In this paper an attempt is made to focus the determining role of gatekeepers in the creation and success of literary works. | | Keywords : | | |
