Description

Civility and Empire examines how the concept of civility functioned as a manifestation of imperial power's fluidity and ambivalence within British colonial literature and culture. Through detailed analysis of Anglo-Indian romances from 1880-1900, E.M. Forster's The Life to Come, and Leonard Woolf's writings, this Routledge volume demonstrates how appeals to civility profoundly shaped colonial subject-hood. The text reveals civility itself as a complex trope embodying the contradictions and tensions inherent in imperial power structures. Written by Anindyo Roy, an Associate Professor of English at Colby College, this work contributes significantly to postcolonial literary studies by uncovering how cultural ideals were deployed to construct and maintain colonial hierarchies. Essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to understand the intricate relationship between literature, culture, and imperialism in nineteenth and early twentieth-century India.
