Klappentext In "Indian Angles," Mary Ellis Gibson provides a new historical approach to Indian English literature. Gibson shows that poetry, not fiction, was the dominant literary genre of Indian writing in English until 1860 and that poetry written in colonial situations can tell us as much or even more about figuration, multilingual literacies, and histories of nationalism than novels can. Gibson recreates the historical webs of affiliation and resistance that were experienced by writers in colonial India--writers of British, Indian, and mixed ethnicities. In lucid and accessible prose, Gibson presents a new theoretical approach to colonial and postcolonial literatures. Zusammenfassung Provides a new historical approach to Indian English literature. It demonstrates that poetry, not fiction, was the dominant literary genre of Indian writing in English until 1860, and that poetry written in colonial situations can tell us as much or even more about figuration, multilingual literacies, and histories of nationalism than novels can.
