Melodramatic Imperial Writing

- From the Sepoy Rebellion to Cecil Rhodes

About Melodramatic Imperial Writing

Melodrama has long been criticized for its reliance on improbable situations and overwhelming emotion. These very aspects, however, made it a useful and appealing literary mode for British imperial propagandists in the late 19th century. This book locates the melodramatic mode within a new and considerably nuanced history of British imperialism.
