520			_aSpanning nearly two and a half centuries of English Literature about India, Under Western Eyes traces the development of an imperial discourse that governed the English view of India well into the twentieth century. 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.
