Provides a new historical approach to Indian English literature. It demonstrates that poetry, not fiction, was the dominant literary genre of Indian writing in English until 1860, and that poetry written in colonial situations can tell us as much or even more about figuration, multilingual literacies, and histories of nationalism than novels can.
