About the Book

The present book concerns itself with the issue of representations of Indian English texts produced during a particular period of the colonial era, 1757-1857. The terms texts is employed very eclectically in the book, dealing with almost all available material, from Parliamentary speeches to Journals and epic poems. The basic analytical method employed is that of postcolonial theory, but other aspects and interpretative techniques, for example, feminism or a new historicism are not neglected. The fundamental argument is built up from the very beginning, to protest against the over-valorisation of "ambivalence" that is present in most contemporary analyses of the colonial period. The book, it is hoped, will make a rich contribution to the areas of literary historiography, literature-history interface, and Indo-British studies.
