- British India and Victorian Literary Culture is an 85,000-word monograph on the development of colonial culture in India throughout the nineteenth century, taking in later Romantic-period as well as Victorian literature. It is the product of ten years’ archival research on poetry, fiction and other prose texts published in India, including over fifty periodicals. It demonstrates the hitherto unrecognized influence of indigenous narratives, as well as European models, in the development of colonial literary forms, and highlights the interplay of contested and alternative histories of indigenous figures and cultures in colonial texts.
