Description

Explore the complex relationship between imperial power and cultural identity in Civility and Empire: Literature and Culture in British India, 1821-1921. Part of the Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures series, this academic work examines how the concept of civility functioned as a tool of colonial rule. By analyzing British colonial literature, the text investigates the fluidity and ambivalence of power during this century-long period. The study looks closely at Anglo-Indian romances from 1880 to 1900 and examines the writings of E.M. Forster, specifically The Life to Come, alongside the works of Leonard Woolf. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how the appeal to civility shaped the constitution of colonial subject-hood. This book serves as a significant resource for students and scholars interested in literary theory, postcolonial studies, and the history of British India.
