Recenzje

In researching the frequency with which Asian "classics" appeared on Victorian bookshelves, Bubb provides readers with an engaging book history project that usefully counters the truism that Britons were generally uninterested in the empire they had acquired. The author's scrupulous archival research into the circulation history of orientalist translations reveals something far more interesting and nuanced.

O autorze

Alexander Bubb is a Senior Lecturer in English at Roehampton University. He is the author of Meeting Without Knowing It: Kipling and Yeats at the Fin de Siècle (OUP, 2016), which won the University English Book Prize (2017), and was nominated for the European Society for the Study of English Book Awards in the early-career category (2018). His research concerns translation, migration, multilingualism, and cosmopolitanism in the Victorian world, and how these phenomena were shaped by Britain's relationship with India.
