An analysis of Anglo-Indian fiction gives an insight into how the English viewed the population of India at the time of the British Raj. The novels of colonial India provide a mirror for perceiving attitudes which are now part of India’s history. It can therefore be argued that Anglo-Indian fiction is a criticism of the life of English men and women in India, and of Indians before partition. Originally published in 1934 and then with a new Preface in 1975, this book analyses this criticism and provides a critical conspectus of the whole of fictional writing in English during the 150 years from Warren Hastings until the British withdrawal from India.
