Excerpt from A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields All my children accompanied me in one of the Penin sular and Oriental Company's steamers to Bombay in the year 1863, and after one year's stay there returned with me to Calcutta. Two only accompanied me to Europe in November 1869, and returned home with me in November 1873. Excepting for a few months in France, Am and Toru were never put to school, but they sedulously attended the lectures for women in Cambridge, during our stay in England.

Indian Angles is a new historical approach to Indian English literature. It shows that poetry, not fiction, was the dominant literary genre of Indian writing in English until 1860 and re-creates the historical webs of affiliation and resistance that writers in colonial India--writers of British, Indian, and mixed ethnicities--experienced.
