Michael J. Franklin's Romantic Representations of British India is a timely study of the impact of Orientalist knowledge upon British culture during the Romantic period.

'At the heart of this excellent collection of eclectic essays is the idea that there was no European monopoly on the representation of India... This book suggests that every representation is a misrepresentation, and the difficulty in capturing the British-Indian encounter over the length of the British occupation of the vast and multi-faceted subcontinent ensures the truth of that statement...This book provides an intriguing collection of disaparate specialised views on the British-Indian relationship between 1780 and 1850.' - David O'Shaughnessy, The Review of English Studies
