Gibson re-creates the historical webs of affiliation and resistance that were experienced by writers in colonial India-writers of British, Indian, and mixed ethnicities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdvancing new theoretical and historical paradigms for reading colonial literatures, \u003ci\u003eIndian Angles\u003c\/i\u003e makes accessible many writers heretofore neglected or virtually unknown. Gibson recovers texts by British women, by nonelite British men, and by persons who would, in the nineteenth century, have been called Eurasian. Her work traces the mutually constitutive history of English-language poets from Sir William Jones to Toru Dutt and Rabindranath Tagore. Drawing on contemporary postcolonial theory, her work also provides new ways of thinking about British internal colonialism as its results were exported to South Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn lucid and accessible prose, Gibson presents a new theoretical approach to colonial and postcolonial literatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Ellis Gibson\u003c\/b\u003e is Arthur Jeremiah Roberts Professor of Literature at Colby College.
