Taylor also reveals the way in which Victoria's influence as empress contributed significantly to India's modernization, both political and economic. This is, in a number of respects, a fresh account of imperial rule in India, suggesting that it was one of Victoria's successes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miles Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300254970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300254976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.90w x 1.40d","brand":"Miles Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982899052799,"sku":"9780300254976","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bf2bab8-bd3d-49bc-8925-61ea0d070c64.jpg?v=1683263578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empress-miles-taylor-9780300254976","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
