		William Browne Hockley; Philip Meadows Taylor; The mutiny.
		He was unrivalled in the sphere of Anglo-Indian fiction, until Philip Meadows Taylor, novelist and historian, began his literary career in 1839 with The Confessions of a Thug, a gruesome presentation of those facts which Sir William Henry Sleeman embodied in official reports.
		Taylor’s reputation, however, rests mainly on stories which he wrote after he retired in 1860, especially the trilogy Tara, a Maratta Tale, Ralph Darnell and Seeta.

		Philip Meadows Taylor (September 25, 1808 - May 13, 1876), Anglo-Indian administrator and novelist, was born at Liverpool.
		About 1850, Meadows Taylor was appointed by the nizam's government to administer, during a long minority, the principality of the young raja of Shorapore.
		He succeeded without any European assistance in raising this small territory to a high degree of prosperity, and such was his influence with the natives that on the occurrence of the mutiny in Bengal he held his ground without military support.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Confessions of a Thug
		Philip Meadows Taylor was born in 1808 in Liverpool, England.
		However, in the case of Philip Meadows Taylor's Confessions of a Thug one has, besides a hugely influential novel, a novel that remains an adventure-thriller that could never be accused of being dull or tedious.
		Taylor's book, on the other hand, is presented in an unambiguous manner with linear (chronological) plotting, and a simple, straight-forward English, which any reader of modern imaginative literature would have absolutely no trouble with.

		The sturdy Protestantism of Taylor and his flock, who seem to have caused various commotions, marked him out for the special enmity of Mary's government; and he was one of the first to suffer when in January 1 555 parliament had once more given the clerical courts liberty of jurisdiction.
		He was sentenced on the 2 2nd, excommunicated on the 2 9 th, degraded by Bonner on the 4th of February, and burnt on the 9th at Aldham Common near Hadleigh.

		Philip Meadows Taylor's Confessions of a Thug (1839) is the most influential novel about India prior to Kipling's Kim and was one of the bestselling sensation novels of the nineteenth century.

		Taylor skillfully blends the proud braggart, tender father with the cold-blooded, deceitful killer into an all too human composite.
		Taylor wrote his book as an inside look to make the British public aware of the terrorism/murder threat that had been endemic in India.

	Nathaniel William Taylor - LoveToKnow 1911
		NATHANIEL WILLIAM TAYLOR (1786-1858), American Congregational theologian, was born in New Milford, Connecticut, on the 2 3 rd of June 1786, grandson of Nathaniel Taylor (1722-1800), pastor at New Milford.
		In the Yale Divinity School his influence was powerful, and in 1833 one of his foremost opponents, Bennet Tyler (1783-1858), founded in East Windsor a Theological Institute to offset Taylor's teaching at Yale.
		Taylorism, sometimes called the "New Haven" theology, was an attempt to defend Calvinism from Arminian attacks, and the defence itself was accused of Arminianism and Pelagianism by A. Hodge of Princeton and Leonard Woods of Andover.

	Books \| Imperial deceivers
		Later that year, Confessions of a Thug, by Captain Philip Meadows Taylor, became the first best-selling Anglo-Indian novel and established the word thug in the English language (from the Hindi "t'ag", meaning "deceiver").
		Meadows Taylor, who had been involved in the thug hunt in a minor way, grabbed the chance to fictionalise people and events.
		To readers of the Arabian Nights, this was familiar territory and it allowed Taylor to write a piece of true crime fiction while still mining a rich seam of orientalist mystery.

		The last three chapters focus on three influential literary figures of the time, Philip Meadows Taylor, Flora Annie Steel and Rudyard Kipling, all of whom in their specific ways contributed to the discourse on 'social reform', and the construction of women as 'victims' of oppression.
		Sen shows how Taylor's 'unusual' women oriented novels while inscribing the 'native women' as the subject of the 19th century agenda of social reform, eventually fed into a larger chivalric 'rescue script' within which the social reform project was located.
		Her 'romances', distinguished by the preponderance of 'native' characters and issues pertaining to 'native' women's social uplift, show an ambivalence akin to Taylor, in the construction of gender.

		Philip Meadows Taylor ‘s Confessions of a Thug is the reprint of a colonial classic.
		Taylor’s “faithful portrait” of “the deeds and adventures of Ameer Ali, the Thug” is both an immensely readable picaresque novel and an attempt to understanding an alien social phenomenon.
		Taylor assumes that for most of his English readers “not conversant with the peculiar construction of Oriental society”, the thug would be a “subject of extreme wonder”.

		Taylor was a British army officer who participated in the uncovering of Thuggee, the underground cult of murder and robbery that flourished in India for centuries.
		Out of his firsthand acquaintance with Thugs, he crafted a novel that is an odd and haunting blend of true crime reporting and exotic fantasy.
		The grisly details of his crimes are intercut with scenes of storybook romance, while the entirely plausible account of the young Thug's moral education undermines any attempt at moral judgment.

		Yet, the seminar will be almost as much about Europe as about “ America.” In the Europe of the 1920s and 1930s, modernity was often labeled “Americanism” and more often than not regarded with disdain and even horror.
		In the economic sphere, the advent of new modes of production (Fordism and Taylorism) transformed not only the nature of work, but also social relations.
		We will explore all these issues in the course of the semester by first looking at Gramsci’s writings, starting with his famous essay on the “Southern Question” (which will allow us to consider the implications of Gramsci’s thought for the study of the world’s “south”) and then moving on to the Prison Notebooks.
