Synopsis
Masks of Conquest reveals how English studies introduced in India under British rule came to be an effective form of political control abetting voluntary cultural assimilation. The author argues that the literary text functioned as a mirror of the ideal Englishman and became a mask of exploitation that camouflaged the material activities of the colonizing British government.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good +. First Edition. Masks of Conquest traces modern English studies to its colonial origin. The book reveals that English literature as a subject in the curriculum was established in India well before its institutionalization in England and had its beginnings as a strategy of colonial management. The author probes tensions in British policy making between secular and religious impulses and shows how these were developed in new cultural meanings for English literature. She argues that in the political gamesmanship of colonial administration, the literary text served as a mirror of the ideal Englishman removed from the material activities of the colonial state. With skill and clarity, the author demonstrates that English literature is inextricably linked to the politics of empire while she challenges contemporary assumptions about canon formation and modern literary study. One small edge tear on back of jacket. Some very light foxing on top edge, otherwise in very nice condition. N° de réf. du vendeur 061428
