	I am currently conducting dissertation research on literary
representations of British colonial education, both within the colonies,
and more crucially, back in England, as preparation for colonial
adminstrators and civil servants.  The period I am most concerned with is
>from the mid-1830s to World War I, and not surprisingly, most of what I
have examined already has to do with India.;m
m	
For my primary texts, I have already been working with Kipling and
Conrad; as for secondary texts, I am already familiar with Mangan,
Viswanathan, Nandy, David, Robert MacDonald, Martin Green, and Thomas
Richards.  I have been thinking about the related issues of muscular
Christianity, Victorian masculinity, and the English mass education
movements.

	I would appreciate suggestions about secondary reading on colonial
administration and the history of British colonial education, and I'd be
especially grateful for primary texts--novels, however obscure, which
deal with education as part of the colonial enterprise.
