Description
This huge work of four books is one of the great classics of post-colonial literature and has deservedly been ranked as one of the most remarkable of the last century’s literary achievements. Scott greatly develops the themes of Forster’s ‘Passage to India’, but with greater depth of characterisation and intoxicating description of the colonial atmosphere, cultural and political tensions between colonial masters and governed people, all woven into the drama of the alleged assault of a colonial woman my a local man, and the ensuing pursuit of justice which provides the book its central narrative.
