Review

Fascinating... a truly remarkable piece of scholarship... stimulating.

(Choice March 2005)

Joshi's research... achieve[s] a historical richness and intimacy unmatched by any recent study of colonial or postcolonial literature. What makes In Another Country methodologically original is the subtlety with which it situates political meaning... An unstoppable read.

(Leah Price Victorian Studies )

This innovative and ambitious book challenges simplistic hegemonic perspectives on colonialism and culture, intervening imaginatively into current discussions of the development of the novel in English and... [its] global travels. In lively, engaging prose, In Another Country mines library records, publishers' archives, and works by Indian writers to glean new understandings of how English books were read in India in the nineteenth century and of the process by which consumers of those books became producers of Indian literature in English. As Joshi's ingenious reconstruction of the consumption practices of nineteenth-century India's resistant readers predicts, the tradition of the Indian novel that emerged in the twentieth century transmuted its colonial legacy in unpredictable ways that ultimately reversed the priorities of Englishness and empire.

This welcome book shows how India and Indians, over time, indigenized English novels to reflect their ideas, experiences, and realities... Thankfully, this study shows how notable Indian responses, experiments, and critical voices constantly complemented, engaged, and reimagined the British counterpart.

(Charles Lindholm Journal of Asian Studies )

This study of the impact of the English novel on nineteenth-and twentieth-century India is an important contribution to Indian book history.... many of Joshi's findings are new and startling and ought to stimulate further studies and enquiries in the field of Indian book history.

(Rimi B. Chatterjee SHARP News )

Joshi's interpretations are nuanced and careful...Joshi does excellent work as a critical reader of texts.

Review

Much more than a history of the English-language novel in India, In Another Country opens up a global field of the 'English novel'well before postmodernity, with influences flowing both ways: between reception and production, between colony and metropole. All scholars of nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature will need to reckon with Priya Joshi's innovative synthesis of cultural criticism and book history, as it redraws the map of modern fiction on a world scale.
