Więcej o książce
Writing some years before Raj nostalgia became all the rage, and out of the rather different political and intellectual climate of 1960s national liberation struggles, Benita Parry produced what remains one of the landmark studies of British attitudes towards India. Available for the first time in paperback, Delusions and Discoveries authoritatively surveys the melange of racist and jingoistic prejudices that dominated the writings of Anglo-Indians from Flora Annie Steele and Maud Diver to Kipling and beyond. The book also includes treatments of more liberal thinkers like Edmund Candler, Edward James Thompson, and E.M. Forster, as well as a new preface by the author situating her work in relation to recent studies of the culture of colony and empire.
