NEW READINGS IN THE LITERATURE OF BRITISH INDIA...

The twelve contributions to this book amply demonstrate the richness  vitality and complexity
of the colonial transactions between Britain and India over the last two centuries  and they do
so by approaching the topic from a specific perspective: by interpreting the rubric new
readings as broadly  creatively and productively as possible. They cover a wide range of
literary responses and genres: eighteenth-century drama  the gothic novel  verse  autobiography
history  religious writing  journalism  womens memoirs  travel writing  popular fiction  and
the modernist novel. Brought together in one volume  these essays offer a small  but
representative sample of the multifaceted literary and cultural traffic between Britain and
India in the colonial period. In the richness and diversity of the various contributors
strategies and interpretations  these new readings urge us to return once again to texts that
we think we know  as well as to explore those that we do not  with a freshly renewed sense of
their complexity  immediacy  and relevance.
