Situated at the intersection of law and literature,
nineteenth-century studies and post-colonialism, Colonial Law in
India and the Victorian Imagination draws on original archival
research to shed new light on Victorian literature. Each chapter
explores the relationship between the shared cultural logic of law
and literature, and considers how this inflected colonial
sociality. Leila Neti approaches the legal archive in a distinctly
literary fashion, attending to nuances of voice, character, diction
and narrative, while also tracing elements of fact and procedure,
reading the case summaries as literary texts to reveal the common
turns of imagination that motivated both fictional and legal
narratives. What emerges is an innovative political analytic for
understanding the entanglements between judicial and cultural norms
in Britain and the colony, bridging the critical gap in how law and
literature interact within the colonial arena.
