Imperial Vision: Indian Architecture and Britain's Raj

"Not a catalogue raisonneacute; of colonial buildings but a significant step forward into the new discipline of 'political architecture'--an important advance in widening our perceptions of colonialism as expressed in one of its most enduring forms."--Rosie Llewellyn-Jones, University of London "Metcalf'sAn Imperial Visionis an important and original contribution to an emergent genre of research. It builds upon a growing interest in the cultures of colonialism, and hence will be read not only by South Asian scholars, but by all who are interested in this burgeoning field. This is the work of a distinguished historian, who has the imagination and knowledge to see the social, political and cultural interrelation across time and space, and it sets a standard for all who are interested in the complex relations between Europeans and the rest of the world."--Bernard S. Cohn, University of ChicagoMetcalf, Thomas R. is the author of 'Imperial Vision: Indian Architecture and Britain's Raj' with ISBN 9780520062351 and ISBN 0520062353.
