Discipline: Literature

 

Abstract:

Literary atheism is a reaction not to literary theism but to the Socio- Economic exigencies of the country.

 

"Intellectuals who are anxious to free themselves from the material and ideological restrictions which the bourgeoisie imposes on their activities can only seek an alliance with the working class. This alliance, the broad alliance of all democratic forces, is able today to bring about the economic and political changes which correspond to the needs of the nation."
