Beattie criticises the reading of sensationalist gothic novels as a dangerous past time because “Romances are a dangerous recreation… and tend to corrupt the heart and simulate the passions” (Beattie, J, (1970), pp. 309-327). In this assignment, I will argue that the relationship between the two genres is shifting alignments of popular and literary fictions with cultural theories, consumption and representations of science. This argument will...

Given the Buddha’s emphasis on teaching for the purpose of liberation, the soteriological reasons are the most important and are given the most attention. Nonetheless, the social and religious milieu of Northern India during the Buddha’s time was dominated by an earlier version of the Brahmanic culture still existing in India today....
