Description

Book Synopsis
Explores the 20th century literary revival of Empire and the post-imperial novel through a critical medical humanities lens.

Trade Review
"This absorbing study of post-war Anglo-Indian historical fiction examines the representation of medicine in its material aspects and metaphorical meanings in a detailed, perceptive reading of a select number of significant novels that implicitly articulate Britain's post-imperial condition. Goodman's timely book is an intelligent contribution to scholarship on post-war fiction, imperial nostalgia and the medical humanities. " -Mariadele Boccardi, University of the West of England
