Description

Inventing India examines how twentieth-century novelists, both Indian and British, have depicted India's transformative history from the Revolt of 1857 through the Emergency of 1975. Ralph Crane explores the intersection of historical and fictional writing, tracing how authors have navigated different literary periods whilst addressing pivotal moments in Indian history. A recurring focus throughout the book is the use of paintings as iconography and allegory within these novels, revealing the complex dynamics of British-Indian relationships. This scholarly work bridges literary theory and historical narrative, offering readers insight into how fiction has shaped and reflected our understanding of India's past. The analysis considers multiple authorial perspectives and historical contexts, demonstrating how novelists have responded to and reinterpreted significant events across nearly a century of literary production.
