Spanning the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, readers and writers, empire and nation, consumption and production, In Another Country vividly explores a process by which first readers and then writers of the English novel indigenized the once imperial form and put it to their own uses. Asking what nineteenth-century Indian readers chose to read and why, Joshi shows how these readers transformed the literary and cultural influences of empire. By subsequently analyzing the eventual rise of the English novel in India, she further demonstrates how Indian novelists, from Krupa Satthianadhan to Salman Rushdie, took an alien form in an alien language and used it to address local needs. Taken together in this manner, reading and writing reveal the complex ways in which culture is continually translated and transformed in a colonial and postcolonial context. 606 $aIndic fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAnglo-Indian fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBooks and reading$zIndia$xHistory 606 $aFiction$xAppreciation$zIndia 606 $aLanguage and culture$zIndia 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism$zIndia 607 $aIndia$xIn literature 615 0$aIndic fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAnglo-Indian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory. 615 0$aFiction$xAppreciation 615 0$aLanguage and culture 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism 676 $a823/.809954 700 $aJoshi$b Priya$0451755 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780253103321 996 $aIn another country$9157409 997 $aUNINA
