This collection of 12 original essays is a concerted attempt to examine representations of India in the 19th-century media. It offers analyses of a representative sampling of contemporary media publications produced in India as well as in Britain between 1840 and 1900. The result aims to contribute to ongoing analyses of the complex cultural relations between metropole and periphery in imperial systems.

'This collection not only extends our understanding of the history of the press, but unlike most studies of the periodical press, which typically are contained within national boundaries, it also poses questions about international readership and the way power worked across and within the boundaries of nation and race at a particular period.' - Margaret Beetham, Manchester Metropolitan University, Sharp News 'This is one of those rare collections that is both critically sound and fun to read.' - Richard D. Fulton, Victorian Periodicals Review
