Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good +. First Edition. Masks of Conquest traces modern English studies to its colonial origin. The book reveals that English literature as a subject in the curriculum was established in India well before its institutionalization in England and had its beginnings as a strategy of colonial management. The author probes tensions in British policy making between secular and religious impulses and shows how these were developed in new cultural meanings for English literature.
