Informationen zum Autor Anindyo Roy is Associate Professor in English at Colby College, Maine, USA, where he teaches critical and postcolonial theory, and postcolonial and modern British literature. Klappentext 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.
