Contours of Colonial Narratives

This insightful anthology examines eight novels from both expatriate and indigenous writers set against the backdrop of the former British Empire.
 
The works have been carefully selected for their thematic exploration of colonial experiences as rendered through artistic expression. Four novels were penned by British authors, providing an outside perspective on imperial rule.
 
Meanwhile, four native writers offer intimate portraits of life under foreign domination. Brought together in this single volume, the side-by-side examination of colonial narratives from both colonial and colonized perspectives promises thoughtful consideration of how imperialism impacted and was depicted through fiction.
 
Scholars and readers interested in postcolonial literature and history will find this diverse selection of short stories and essays on Indian history to be a compelling read.
