| Abstract |
"This book explores the last years of the British East India Company using the life of General Sir James Abbott-explorer, guerilla, district officer, and possible inspiration for Mr. Kurtz in Heart of Darkness-as a thread to reexamine the social and sexual relationships between Britons and Indians and chronicle the collapse of their social contract"-- Provided by publisher. |
