Copertina di Anindyo Roy: Civility and Empire (ePUB)

This book addresses the idea of ”civility” as a manifestation of the fluidity and ambivalence of imperial power as reflected in British colonial literature and culture. Discussions of Anglo-Indian romances of 1880-1900, E.M. Forster”s The Life to Come and Leonard Woolf”s writings show how the appeal to civility had a significant effect on the constitution of colonial subject-hood and reveals ”civility” as an ideal trope for the ambivalence of imperial power itself.
