- This substantial monograph (pp. xxi + 295 pages; 98,000 words) is the culmination of 8 years' research. This multi-layered, multidisciplinary study of colonialism's legacy to rurality, heritage and literature is the first to join historical and creative discussions of both East India Company and Atlantic World activity. It spans across three centuries, discussing an unusually diverse range of literary material in many generic forms - including 10 creative works commissioned by the author's 'Colonial Countryside' research project - to demonstrate that black and Asian writers are reshaping ideas about the English pastoral from moorlands to country houses.
