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.
