- Summary
- This book investigates the houses of a group of East India Company officials in Delhi - and the possessions they owned, used and displayed in these houses- in the fifty years following the beginning of British occupation in 1803. Arguing that houses, their location and their contents reveal the underlying values and beliefs of the individuals who lived in them, it examines the changing ways in which the British both related to and resisted the pre-existing spatial layout of the city, how the British re-used palaces and other monumental structures, how new building outwardly appeared to be formally classical.
