BIBLIOGRAPHIES, ETC.

No bibliography of the subject as a whole exists. Two useful lists of books are the bibliography on pp. 471–494 of the Dictionary of Indian Biography by Buckland, C. E., 1906, and that on pp. xxvii-xlvii of Hobson-Jobson, by Yule and Burnett, 1886.

The India Office Library Catalogue is not as useful as it might be. The library’s collection of Anglo-Indian writings, especially early editions, leaves much to be desired.

The Calcutta Review, especially in its earlier years, contains valuable notices of many Anglo-Indian writers, but it does not begin before 1844. A Sketch of Anglo-Indian Literature by Oaten, E. F., 1908, contains a brief account of Anglo-Indian fiction, poetry and belles lettres, with a list of books. Chapter XV of A Literary History of India (The Fusing Point of Old and New), by Frazer, R. W., 1898, contains an account of the progress of English as a language for Indian writers. Sketches of Some Distinguished Anglo-Indians by Laurie, W. F. B., 1877, contains an account of Anglo-Indian periodical literature. Separate lives have been written of many of the writers of the above list.
