NARRATIVE STRATEGIES FOR INDIA IN TRANSITION TA...

India has been fascinating travellers from the earliest ages of history  and has been described
as a wondrous world of incredible wealth  as well as a somewhat mysterious place  by authors
from many countries. The present volume is organized according to two main principles. First 
we aim to dissect images of India in the long 19th century from multiple perspectives  images
from a time during which the subcontinent saw a time of transition in many aspects of life 
politics  and culture. Second  we seek to introduce narratology into the field of Indian
cultural history as an innovative methodological tool that allows us to delve through the words
of a text to its worlds and to generate our findings within a consistent theoretical and
methodological framework and to compare them transculturally. To this end  the volume comprises
six case studies  each analysing a thrilling and somewhat exceptional encounter with India
during the long nineteenth century. The narratives under consideration are told by authors from
different cultural backgrounds  in different languages and with different aims.
