How did the Victorians think about disasters such as famines and
epidemic diseases? What was the relationship between such
cataclysmic events and literary forms, styles and genres? In what
way was thinking about disasters also crucial to practices of
governance? Does the legacy of such Victorian thinking still shape
our contemporary responses to 'natural' disasters? This book seeks
to answer such questions by looking at a wide range of
administrative, medical, historical, journalistic and literary
texts written about Britain's key imperial possession in the
19th-century - south Asia. In doing so, it expands our ideas about
Victorian literature, just as it reshapes our definitions of
'natural' disasters themselves.
