Indian Angles is a new historical approach to Indian English literature. It shows that poetry, not fiction, was the dominant literary genre of Indian writing in English until 1860 and re-creates the historical webs of affiliation and resistance that writers in colonial India—writers of British, Indian, and mixed ethnicities—experienced.
Mary Ellis Gibson is Arthur Jeremiah Roberts Professor of Literature at Colby College. Her books include Indian Angles: English Verse in Colonial India from Jones to Tagore (Ohio, 2011); History and the Prism of Art: Browning’s Poetic Experiments; and Epic Reinvented: Ezra Pound and the Victorians. She has also edited several other anthologies, including New Stories by Southern Women; Homeplaces: Stories of the South by Women Writers; and Critical Essays on Robert Browning.
"This is genuinely groundbreaking work: ambitiously conceived, suggestively presented, and potentially paradigm-shifting." Tricia Lootens - author of Lost Saints: Silence, Gender, and Victorian Literary Canonization
