Reviews

"In sum, n� Fhlath�in's work shows the complexities in British writers' per-ceptions of India, derived from their lived experiences in India, their knowledge of indigenous history, and their engagement with existing colonial discourses, literary tropes, and genres. By giving us a clear picture of how colonial litera-ture in British India is produced throughout the 19th century, her comprehensive study has already offered an impartial way of perceiving the Other.--Jingxuan Yi, University of Nottingham ""Partial Answers"" British India and Victorian Literary Culture is a thoroughly researched and insightful account of the emergence of an Anglo-Indian literary culture in the nineteenth century. Everyone interested in the history of British India will find this book illuminating.--Indiana University ""Patrick Brantlinger"""
