Reviews

This Handbook advances the comparative study of print cultures significantly with its comprehensive analysis of print as a prolific, multi-genre medium throughout the colonial and postcolonial worlds. Placing the postcolony firmly at the centre of postcolonial studies, the volume also opens up fresh perspectives on world literature, visual culture, and the new media. * Aparna Dharwadker, Professor of English and Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA * This is a beautifully curated collection of essays that brings together pioneering and emerging scholars from across the discipline. The Bloomsbury Handbook of Postcolonial Print Cultures represents a major critical intervention in the field, and will surely become the standard text in this rapidly expanding area of research. * James Procter, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Literature, Newcastle University, UK *
