India was the object of intense sympathetic concern during the Romantic period. But what was the true nature of imaginative engagement with British India? This study explores how a range of authors, from Edmund Burke and Sir William Jones to Robert Southey and Thomas Moore, sought to come to terms with India'sstrangeness and distance from Britain. ANDREW RUDD Teaches English literature at the Open University, UK. He holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge.
