Aims, scope and focus
The interdisciplinary nature of literary studies, in recent times, is evident not only in its incorporation of the socio-cultural idioms in its regular discourses, but also in its acknowledgement of several nonscriptural forms that have emerged in recent times. The scope of postScriptum encompasses the multifaceted socio-cultural aspects reflected through the prism of scriptural and nonscriptural mediums of literature in general.
