Reviews

From Little London to Little Bengal is a paradigm of granular subtlety and one which is moreover very elegantly written. -- Andrew Rudd European Romantic Review An exemplary work of cultural geography, evoking not only a fine sense of specific spaces-neighborhoods, buildings-in both Calcutta and London, but also of the relationships between those spaces. -- Adela Pinch Studies in English Literature A valuable and articulate contribution to the field of new imperial history. -- Ashok Malhotra American Historical Review
