Sobre IBD

This volume brings together an unusual collection of British captivity writings - composed during and after imprisonment and in conditions of siege. Writings from the ’Mutiny’ of 1857 are well known, but there exists a vast body of texts, from Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Burma, and the Indian subcontinent, that have rarely been compiled or examined. From Robert Knox’s 17th-century account of imprisonment in Sri Lanka, through J. Z. Holwell’s famous account of the ’Black Hole’ of Calcutta, through Florentia Sale’s Afghan memoir, and Lady Inglis’ ’Mutiny’ diary from Lucknow, the book opens up a dark and revealing corner of the colonial archive.
