The course will track the decline of Empire and the concomitant
social and political uncertainty, the relationship between the colonial

the subjective nature of historical revision.
There will be ample scope for discussion of at times difficult and
controversial debates, and we will focus on the continuing
relationship that exists between contemporary writers and later
writers vis-a-vis issues of guilt and responsibility.
