Book Description

Publication Date: March 7, 2005 | Series: Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture (Book 43)

Gautam Chakravarty explores representations of the Indian Mutiny of 1857 in British popular fiction and historiography and within the wider context of British involvement in India. Drawing on diaries, autobiographies and state papers, Chakravarty demonstrates how narratives of the rebellion were inflected by the concerns of colonial policy and the demands of imperial self-image. The book has a broad interdisciplinary appeal.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"meticulously researched and elegantly argued" Victorian Studies Shuchi Kapila, Grinnell College

"Chakravarty's impressive study considers the ways in which the Mutiny was imagined and re-imagined by the British, viewing the insurrection not only as a refusal to accept Anglicism and forced assimilation but also as an outright rejection of European modernity...Chakravarty presents an outstanding study of the myth-making surrounding the Mutiny across ninety tense years" - English Studies in Canada Grace Moore, The University of Melbourne
