Ideologies of the Raj

"It is difficult to imagine a more important or neglected topic than the subject of Professor Metcalf's monograph: the ideologies of the Raj. The ideas of the ruling race affected everything they did--yet historians have been strangely reluctant to tackle the mentalities of Anglo-India. No one can doubt Metcalf's qualifications for the task; his books on the taluqdars of Oudh and British architecture in India are definitive. The research of half a lifetime informs every page he writes--and he writes well. Ideologies of the Raj is consistently clear and fluent."Metcalf, Thomas R. is the author of 'Ideologies of the Raj ', published 1997 under ISBN 9780521589376 and ISBN 0521589371.
