The historical scope of the anthology, beginning with the famous Orientalist Sir William Jones and the anonymous \"Anna Maria\" and ending with Indian poets publishing in fin-de-si cle London, will enable teachers and students to understand what brought Kipling early fame and why at the same time Tagore's \u003ci\u003eGitanjali\u003c\/i\u003e became a global phenomenon. \u003ci\u003eAnglophone Poetry in Colonial India, 1780-1913\u003c\/i\u003e puts all parties to the poetic conversation back together and makes their work accessible to American audiences.With accurate and reliable texts, detailed notes on vocabulary, historical and cultural references, and biographical introductions to more than thirty poets, this collection significantly reshapes the understanding of English language literary culture in India. It allows scholars to experience the diversity of poetic forms created in this period and to understand the complex religious, cultural, political, and gendered divides that shaped them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Ellis Gibson\u003c\/b\u003e is Arthur Jeremiah Roberts Professor of Literature at Colby College.
