VICTORIAN STUDIES • SOUTH ASIAN LITERATURE

From Mary Ellis Gibson:

Indian Angles
English Verse in Colonial India from Jones to Tagore
“Meticulously resuscitating a mostly illegible and invisible archive, Gibson’s comprehensive study of English-language poetry written in and about India should dramatically transform the postcolonial canon. Emphasizing the perspectival as well as the identitarian, Indian Angles heralds a new recognition of subcontinental verse with polyglot resonances and cosmopolitan reach.”

Anglophone Poetry in Colonial India, 1780-1913: A Critical Anthology
