By taking into account the history of English education and the legacy of England’s colonial presence in India, this paper attempts to uncover if, in adapting nineteenth-century English literature, these filmmakers are advocating England’s imperialist ideology through their films. 2005-11-03 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1130955416 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1130955416 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
