The contributions to this book amply demonstrate the richness,
vitality, and complexity of the colonial transactions between
Britain and India over the last two centuries, and they do so by
approaching the topic from a specific perspective: by interpreting
the rubric 'new readings' as broadly, creatively, and productively
as possible. They cover a wide range of literary responses and
genres: eighteenth-century drama, the gothic novel, verse,
autobiography, history, religious writing, journalism, women's
memoirs, travel writing, popular fiction, and the modernist novel.
Brought together in one volume, these essays offer a small, but
representative sample of the multifaceted literary and cultural
traffic between Britain and India in the colonial period. In the
richness and diversity of the various contributors' strategies and
interpretations, these new readings urge us to return once again to
texts that we think we know, as well as to explore those that we do
not, with a freshly renewed sense of their complexity, immediacy,
and relevance.
