{"product_id":"the-competition-wallah-george-otto-trevelyan-9781108023528","title":"The Competition Wallah","description":"Sir George Otto Trevelyan's Competition Wallah was published in 1864 after previous serialisation in Macmillan's Magazine. Consisting of a series of letters from Henry Broughton, an imaginary young civil servant fresh from Cambridge, to a friend, the work was well-received in Britain and India, although it raised controversy in the Anglo-Indian community for its exposure of the attitudes of the British settlers to the Indian people in the wake of the Mutiny of 1857-1859. Extraordinary and courageous for its time, this book examines society in India, exploring the gulf of misunderstanding and racial prejudice, and attempting to bridge the gap between the early nineteenth-century reformist attitude and the defensive militarist imperialism of the latter half of the century. It is also notable for containing the first full publication in the west of the highly influential 'Minute on Education' of 1835 by Trevelyan's uncle, Thomas Babington Macaulay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Otto Trevelyan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108023525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108023528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.05d","brand":"George Otto Trevelyan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120823300351,"sku":"9781108023528","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6022b84-e585-4add-ba81-79bcafbbf85e.jpg?v=1687416477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-competition-wallah-george-otto-trevelyan-9781108023528","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
