内容説明
In nineteenth-century India, Gauri Viswanathan argues, the English literary text functioned as a mirror of the ideal Englishman in his most perfect state. The literature became a mask for economic exploitation that camouflaged the material activities of the colonizing British government. Viswanathan shows how the English studies introduced in India under British colonial rule came to be a most effective form of political control and how this abetted voluntary cultural assimilation. The author argues that challenges to the literary canon must take account of the role of Empire in the creation of modern English studies.
