Reviews
"Indeed while Indian Arrivals offers much which to engage, it also makes for very engaging reading. It twins impressive archival research with an imaginative handling of the material. * Victorian Studies * The range of texts examined is impressive, and includes not only literary works, but also correspondence, journals and memoirs ... [a] carefully researched and beautifully written book [...] which sensitively and empathetically explores the multi-layered meanings of 'arrival'. * Amelia Bona, H-Net Reviews * At the core of this book, supplying both its motivation and its story is a paradox of the alien and the familiar... A comprehensive and rewarding exploration of a fascinating period in British and Indian literary history * Marie Ni Fhlathuin * Elleke Boehmer is one of the very few genuine literary all-rounders, as capable of writing excellent fiction as she is works of literary scholarship. Her latest, deservedly praised, novel, Shouting at the Dark (2015), must have been written alongside her latest scholarly work, which examines the writings of a number of Indians who undertook the journey to Britain in the ""high imperial decades"" of 1870-1915 (250). * Anshuman A. Mondal, International Journal of Postcolonial Studies * Boehmer is an authority on post-colonial literatures ... this is a luminous literary history. * Times Higher Education * this is a comprehensive and rewarding exploration of a fascinating period in British and Indian literary history. * Maire Ni Fhlathuin, Review of English Studies *"
