One of Premchand's most successful Hindi novels, Sevasadan is a bold statement on the political and religious debates about marriage, sexuality, and prostitution, at a time when Indian women were being held up as standard-bearers of a nation in chains.

Premchand depicts the hypocrisy of the so-called 'pillars of society', who can sacrifice their orthodox principles behind closed doors, yet do not shirk from mouthing moral platitudes in public. He portrays the reality of the interest groups which cut across the newly emerging Hindu-Muslim divide, but also conceives of an ideal community that gives new direction to the life of a fallen woman and allows her to lead a meaningful existence. The stream of idealism that runs through Premchand's works has often been criticized by scholars, but it is the counterpart of a relentless psychological and social realism, which has remained unmatched to this day.

A hugely popular novel, Sevasadan went through several editions after its first publication in 1918. It was made into a film in 1938 with M.S. Subbulakshmi in the lead role. It is not only a gripping novel but also a sensitive and perceptive document on the lives of young urban men and women at the beginning of the twentieth century.

प्रेमचन्द (31 जुलाई, 1880 — 8 अक्तूबर 1936) के उपनाम से लिखने वाले धनपत राय श्रीवास्तव हिन्दी और उर्दू के महानतम भारतीय लेखकों में से एक हैं। उन्हें मुंशी प्रेमचन्द व नवाब राय नाम से भी जाना जाता है और उपन्यास सम्राट के नाम से अभिहित किया जाता है। इस नाम से उन्हें सर्वप्रथम बंगाल के विख्यात उपन्यासकार शरतचंद्र चट्टोपाध्याय ने संबोधित किया था। प्रेमचन्द ने हिन्दी कहानी और उपन्यास की एक ऐसी परंपरा का विकास किया जिसने पूरी शती के साहित्य का मार्गदर्शन किया। आगामी एक पूरी पीढ़ी को गहराई तक प्रभावित कर प्रेमचन्द ने साहित्य की यथार्थवादी परंपरा की नींव रखी। उनका लेखन हिन्दी साहित्य की एक ऐसी विरासत है जिसके बिना हिन्दी के विकास का अध्ययन अधूरा होगा। वे एक संवेदनशील लेखक, सचेत नागरिक, कुशल वक्ता तथा सुधी संपादक थे। बीसवीं शती के पूर्वार्द्ध में, जब हिन्दी में की तकनीकी सुविधाओं का अभाव था, उनका योगदान अतुलनीय है।
