| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of the present research project is to illustrate how British India is represented in the Indian tales, such as Phebe Gibbes’ Hartly House, Calcutta (1789), Sydney Owenson’s The Missionary (1811), Sir Walter Scott’s The Surgeon’s Daughter (1827) and others. First, I located the Indian tales within the context of politics, culture, and religion at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries. Second, I examined the way the Indian subcontinent was represented in the Indian tales, in the light of imperialism, domination, and colonialism. Third, I investigated writers’ political purposes latent in their works, for which their representation of India provided clues. Further, I tried to make it clear that the Indian tales in the Romantic age exerted a great influence over Victorian novelists. By doing so, I showed that the Indian tales in the Romantic age provided Victorian novelists with themes, plots, and underlying structures for their novels.
