English in Tibet, Tibet in English

self-presentation in Tibet and the diaspora

1st ed.

by

"This book explores two kinds of self-presentation in Tibet and the Tibetan diaspora: that of British writers in their travel texts on Tibet from 1774 to 1910 and that of Tibetans in recent autobiographies in English. McMillin contends that Tibet and the anglophone west have had a long, complex, and convoluted relationship that can be explored, in part, through analysis of English language texts.

The first part of the book explores how a myth of epiphany in Tibet comes to dominate English texts of travel in Tibet, while the second part considers how Tibetan autobiographers writing in English have responded to and resisted western images of them."--BOOK JACKET.
