Description

Indian Angles: English Verse in Colonial India from Jones to Tagore explores the dominant literary genre of Indian writing in English until 1860, revealing that poetry can offer valuable insights into figuration, multilingual literacies, and histories of nationalism.

This book recovers texts by writers previously neglected or unknown, including British women, non-elite British men, and individuals of mixed ethnicity. Gibson's work traces the history of English language poets from Sir William Jones to Toru Dutt and Rabindranath Tagore, shedding new light on colonialism and its impact.

Through a lucid and accessible approach, Gibson presents a new theoretical framework for understanding colonial and postcolonial literatures. This book offers a fresh perspective on the complex relationships between language, culture, and identity in colonial India.
