Summary:
"Recovering a rich archive of ephemera, author Mulholland studies anglophone writers of British colonial India in the eighteenth century, the era of the East India Company. He shows how regional, rather than exclusively British, newspapers served as a major site for Anglo-Indian literary culture. In the regular poetry sections of these newspapers, writers adapted Anglophone literature to their own geographical politics and social circumstances"-- Provided by publisher.
