Empire in Decline
J.G. Farrell's Trilogy
Gebonden Engels 2026 9781036482701Samenvatting
What if the story of the empire's collapse wasn't told through battles and treaties, but through irony, absurdity, and the quiet unraveling of imperial delusion? This book begins with that question and builds an original reassessment of the British Empire's demise through the lens of one of modern literature's sharpest satirists, J.G. Farrell. The book offers a focused literary analysis of The Empire Trilogy: Troubles, The Siege of Krishnapur, and The Singapore Grip, as a coherent, ironic counter-narrative to triumphalist or resistance-centered accounts of decolonization. Rather than foregrounding the colonized or grand historical moments of collapse, this book turns inward to examine the self-deceptions, ideological stagnation, and psychological unraveling of the colonizers themselves.
