		The colonial observers approved of this sturdy yeomanry, contrasting it with the oppressive hierarchy which scholars had believed from Brahman texts and informers to be typical of India, and with a supposedly rapacious and unproductive landlord class which had been set up in Bengal.

	India and Ireland in the Colonial World
		Present-day studies of colonial power relations, economics and discourse construct a history of the colonial and postcolonial world that, by necessity, draws colonial sites into particular kinds of relations with each other—the very designation "colonial" or "postcolonial" carries with it a suggestion of shared transnational experience among colonised sites.

		By situating my reading texts that deal with the nineteenth-century experience of colonialism in this broader frame, I wish to gain a deeper insight into how readings of nineteenth-century cultural and literary history impose a coherence, which may or may not be justified, ordered around the experience of colonialism.
