In sum, ní Fhlathúin’s work shows the complexities in British writers’ per-ceptions of India, derived from their lived experiences in India, their knowledge of indigenous history, and their engagement with existing colonial discourses, literary tropes, and genres. By giving us a clear picture of how colonial litera-ture in British India is produced throughout the 19th century, her comprehensive study has already offered an impartial way of perceiving the Other.
