Not Even Past

Masks of Conquest: Literary Study and British Rule in India, by Gauri Viswanathan (1989)

October 7, 2012

Gauri Viswanathan provides a fascinating account of the ideological motivations behind the introduction of English literary education in British India. She studies the shifts in the curriculum and relates such developments to debates over the objectives of English education both among the British administrators, as well as between missionaries and colonial officials.
