Description Editorial Reviews Review "meticulously researched and elegantly argued" Victorian Studies Shuchi Kapila, Grinnell College "Chakravarty's impressive study considers the ways in which the Mutiny was imagined and re-imagined by the British, viewing the insurrection not only as a refusal to accept Anglicism and forced assimilation but also as an outright rejection of European modernity...Chakravarty presents an outstanding study of the myth-making surrounding the Mutiny across ninety tense years" - English Studies in Canada Grace Moore, The University of Melbourne Book Description 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.
