India Inscribed

India Inscribed is the first comprehensive study of European and British writing on India in the period that saw Britain's transition from trading partner to ruling power. Analysing an extensive range of texts, Kate Teltscher argues that writing about India is not monolithic, but that representations of the country are diverse, shifting, historically contingent, and frequently competitive. This book is intended for scholars and students of literary criticism, history, Indology, anthropology, cultural studies.
