| 总结: | Gautam Chakravarty explores representations of the Indian Mutiny of 1857 in British popular fiction and historiography and the wider context of British involvement in India. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources including diaries, autobiographies and state papers, Chakravarty shows how narratives of the rebellion were inflected by the concerns of colonial policy and by the demands of imperial self-image. The book has a broad interdisciplinary appeal and will be of interest to scholars of English literature, British imperial history, modern Indian history and cultural studies. |
