Images of India in British Fiction: Anglo-India vs. the Metropolis

By Sebastian Horstmann

Book Overview

This study investigates possible differences between fictional portrayals of the British Raj by Anglo-Indian authors who lived in the colony and writers who never saw the country. In an attempt to challenge Said's assumptions outlined in Orientalism, the results of the comparison will be used to discuss how consistent the colonial discourse was.
