Literature/Colonial Studies/Gender Studies"Paxton has written a book whose rich hybridity and interdisciplinary crossingsecho and extend the goals of postcolonial theory."-JOSEPH ALLEN BOONE, University of Southern CaliforniaWriting under the Raj is the first study to challenge the long-held criticalassumption that the rape of colonizing women by colonized men was the first,or the only, rape script in British colonial literature. Nancy Paxton asks whyrape disappears in British literature about English domestic life in the 1790sand charts its reappearance in British literature about India written between1830 and 1947. She then documents the reemergence of representations of rapein literature about English life in the 1890s and shows how rape themes weresuppressed by the emergence of British modernism. In her examination ofnovels such as Kipling's Kim and Forster's A Passage to India, Paxton revealsthe dynamic relationship between metropolitan British literature and novelswritten by men and women who lived in the colonial contact zone of BritishIndia throughout this period. Surveying more than thirty canonized and popularAnglo-Indian novels, Paxton shows how the treatment of rape reflects basicconflicts in the social and sexual contracts defining British and Indian women'srelationships to the nation-state. Writing under the Raj vividly demonstrateshow all these novels reflect unresolved ideological and symbolic conflicts inBritish ideas about sex, violence, and power.Nancy L.
