Description
This volume assembles a rare collection of British captivity writings spanning Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Burma and the Indian subcontinent, composed during imprisonment and siege conditions from the 18th century through the 1857 Mutiny. These narratives, written in anxiety and recalled with poignancy and anger, reveal a starkly different Britain from the triumphant conqueror stereotype - depicting vulnerable, injured and frightened individuals facing extraordinary hardship. The anthology draws together siege accounts and prison testimonies that have rarely been compiled or examined in one place, offering historians, scholars and general readers intimate perspectives on British experiences of captivity, loss of control and psychological trauma during imperial expansion. Published by Routledge India, this scholarly work challenges conventional narratives of British colonialism by centring the voices of those who endured siege and imprisonment rather than those who wielded power. Essential reading for understanding the human cost of imperial conflict and the emotional reality behind historical events often presented as triumphs.

Key Features
