505 _a The poetical economy of consumption -- The circulation of fiction in Indian libraries, ca. 1835-1901 -- Readers write back : the Macmillan colonial library in India -- By way of transition : Bankim's will, or indigenizing the novel in India -- Reforming the novel : Krupa Satthianadhan, the woman who did -- The exile at home : Ahmed Ali's Twilight in Delhi -- The other modernism, or the family romance in English.
520 _aAsking what Indian readers chose to read and why, In Another Country shows how readers of the English novel transformed the literary and cultural influences of empire. She further demonstrates how Indian novelists writing in English, 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.
