Even though Edward Saids Orientalism inspired several generations of scholars to study the English novels close involvement with colonialism, they have not considered how English novels themselves were radically altered by colonialism. In Educating Seeta, Shuchi Kapila argues that the paradoxes of indirect rule in British India were negotiated in family romances which encoded political struggle in the language of domestic and familial civility. A mixture of domestic ideology and liberal politics, these are AngloIndian romances, written by British colonials who lived in India during a period of indirect colonial rule. Instead of providing neat conclusions and smooth narratives, they become a record of the limits of liberal colonialism. They thus offer an important supplement to Victorian novels, extend the study of nineteenthcentury domestic ideology, and offer a new perspective on colonial culture. Kapila demonstrates that popular writing about India and, by implication, other colonies is an important supplement to the high Victorian novel and indispensable to our understanding of nineteenthcentury English literature and culture. Her nuanced study of British writing about indirect rule in India will reshape our understanding of Victorian domestic ideologies, class formation, and gender politics.

While I found the themes in the book to be very thoughtful and relevant, the pacing was slower than I anticipated. It took me a while to get through, but the exploration of indirect rule in such a personal context is commendable.
