Description: Colonial India in Children's Literature, Paperback by Goswami, Supriya, ISBN 1138889210, ISBN-13 9781138889217, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Colonial India in Children’s Literature is the first book-length study to explore the intersections of children’s literature and defining historical moments in colonial India. Engaging with important theoretical and critical literature that deals with colonialism, hegemony, and marginalization in children's literature, Goswami proposes that British, Anglo-Indian, and Bengali children’s literature respond to five key historical events: the missionary debates preceding the Charter Act of 1813, the defeat of Tipu Sultan, the Mutiny of 1857, the birth of Indian nationalism, and the Swadeshi movement resulting from the Partition of Bengal in 1905. Through a study of works by Mary Sherwood (1), Barbara Hofland (1), Sara Jeanette Duncan (1), Rudyard Kipling (1), Upendrakishore Ray (1), and Sukumar Ray (1), Goswami examines how children’s literature negotiates and represents these momentous historical forces that unsettled Britain’s imperial ambitions in India.
