Framing "India": The Colonial Imaginary in Early Modern Culture By Shankar Raman Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2002
Framing "India" is a hugely ambitious, densely argued account of the literary representation of the idea of India in early modern culture. It is a very timely book as both Renaissance and Shakespeare studies start to look eastward, and while the focus for many scholars remains on the impact of the Ottomans on early modern culture, India has remained relatively neglected. This omission alone makes Raman's book a telling intervention in the field, but in many cases it disappoints because of the impossibly ambitious scale of his project.
