THE PERISHABLE EMPIRE (OIP)

The Perishable Empire provides a fresh perspective on Indian writing in English from its nineteenth-century beginnings through its development in the twentieth century. The insightful essays relate Indian English texts to texts in other Indian languages and see this phenomenon as part of a composite cultural mosaic. The Perishable Empire is especially useful for students, researchers, and lecturers of Indian writing in English, regional Indian literature, and cultural studies.
