Under Western Eyes: India from Milton to Macaulay (PostContemporary Interventions),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Spanning nearly two and a half centuries of English literature about India, Under Western Eyes traces the development of an imperial discourse that governed the English view of India well into the twentieth century. Narrating this history from its Reformation beginnings to its Victorian consolidation, Balachandra Rajan tracks this imperial presence through a wide range of literary and ideological sites. In so doing, he explores from a postcolonial vantage point collusions of gender, commerce, and empirewhile revealing the tensions, selfdeceptions, and conflicts at work within the English imperial design.Rajan begins with the Portuguese poet Cames, whose poem celebrating Vasco da Gamas passage to India becomes, according to its eighteenthcentury English translator, the epic of those who would possess India. He closely examines Miltons treatment of the Orient and Drydens AurengZebe,the first English literary work on an Indian subject. Texts by Shelley, Southey, Mill, and Macaulay, among others, come under careful scrutiny, as does Hegels significant impact on English imperial discourse. Comparing the initial English representation of its actions in India (as a matter of commerce, not conquest) and its contemporaneous treatment of Ireland, Rajan exposes contradictions that shed new light on the English construction of a subaltern India.
