This process took place within a unified field of knowledge that brought together travel and evangelical accounts to exert a formative influence on the creation of London and India for the domestic reading public. Their distinct narratives, rhetoric and chronologies forged homologies between representations of the metropolitan poor and colonial subjects - those constituencies that were seen as the most threatening to imperial progress. Thus the poor and particular sections of the Indian population were inscribed within discourses of western civilization as regressive and inferior peoples. Over time these discourses increasingly promoted notions of overt and rigid racial hierarchies, the legacy of which remains to this day. This comparative analysis looks afresh at the writings of observers such as Henry Mayhew, Patrick Colquhoun, Charles Grant, Pierce Egan, James Forbes and Emma Roberts, thereby seeking to rethink the location of the poor and India within the nineteenth-century imagination. Drawing upon cultural and intellectual history it also attempts to extend our understanding of the relationship between 'centre' and 'periphery'. The other empire will be of value to students and scholars of modern imperial and urban history, cultural studies, and religious studies. lok: 36240902 3 exp: 36240902 3 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.891 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0757441904 208@/01 $a24-07-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 5 exp: 36240902 5 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.896 201C/01 $004-03-22 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01184538506 208@/01 $a04-03-22 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 8 exp: 36240902 8 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.901 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0757441912 208@/01 $a24-07-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 10 exp: 36240902 10 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.904 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0757441920 208@/01 $a24-07-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 11 exp: 36240902 11 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.909 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $075805498X 208@/01 $a06-08-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 13 exp: 36240902 13 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.913 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0758054998 208@/01 $a06-08-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 21 exp: 36240902 21 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.922 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0758055005 208@/01 $a06-08-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 23 exp: 36240902 23 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.928 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0757441947 208@/01 $a24-07-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 24 exp: 36240902 24 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.931 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0758055013 208@/01 $a06-08-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 25 exp: 36240902 25 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.942 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0757441955 208@/01 $a24-07-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 36 exp: 36240902 36 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.948 201C/01 $004-03-22 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01185105468 208@/01 $a04-03-22 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 51 exp: 36240902 51 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:09.987 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0758055048 208@/01 $a06-08-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 74 exp: 36240902 74 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:10.031 201C/01 $009-10-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0127694716X 208@/01 $a09-10-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 75 exp: 36240902 75 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:10.108 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0758055064 208@/01 $a06-08-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 107 exp: 36240902 107 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:10.112 201C/01 $003-04-20 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01091924023 208@/01 $a03-04-20 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 204 exp: 36240902 204 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:10.117 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0757441963 208@/01 $a24-07-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR lok: 36240902 205 exp: 36240902 205 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-06-25 $t02:15:10.125 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0757441971 208@/01 $a24-07-15 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35000 $XR
