Mapping the Nation

Focusing specifically on the poetic construction of India, Mapping the Nation offers a broad selection of poetry written by Indians in English during the period 18701920. Centering upon the mapping of India both as a regional location and as a poetic ideal this unique anthology presents poetry from various geographical nodal points of the subcontinent, as well as that written in the imperial metropole of England, to illustrate how the variety of Indias poetical imagining corresponded to the diversity of her inhabitants and geography.
