| Sumario: | The article discusses a study examining the Woman Question in the Bengali novel "Malloban" by Jibanananda Das as a critical locus of feminist narratological inquiry.

The study theorizes the novel's regulatory narrative scheme as a hermeneutic deception through which the regnant voice of the male author-narrator persuades the reader to accept a gendered epistemology of control. |
