Narrating this history from its reformation beginnings yo its Victorian consolidation, Balachandra Rajan tracks this imperial presence through a wide range of literary and ideological sites. In so doing, he explores from a postcolonial vantage point, collusions of gender, commerce and empire-while revealing the tensions, self-deceptions, and conflicts at work within the English imperial design.
