British India and Victorian Literary Culture, Hardback Book

British India and Victorian Literary Culture Hardback

Hardback

Available to Order - This title is available to order, with delivery expected within 2 weeks

Description

The book traces the development of British Indian literature from the early days of the 19th century through the Victorian period.

Previously unstudied poems and essays drawn from the thriving periodicals culture of British India are examined alongside novels and travel-writing by authors including Emma Roberts, Philip Meadows Taylor and Rudyard Kipling.

Key events and concerns of Victorian India - the legacy of the Hastings impeachment, the Indian 'Mutiny', the sati controversy, the rise of Bengal nationalism - are re-assessed within a dual literary and political context, emphasising the engagement of British writers with canonical British literature (Scott, Byron) as well as the mythology and historiography of India and their own responses to their immediate surroundings.
