Masks of Conquest: Literary Study and British Rule in India
ISBN: 9780231171694 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A classic work in postcolonial studies, Masks of Conquest describes the introduction of English studies in India under British rule and illuminates the discipline's transcontinental movements and derivations, showing that the origins of English studies are as diverse and diffuse as its future shape.
