"This book is a fascinating account of the life of an extraordinary viceroy--a colorful Tory politician sent out by Disraeli to rule India. Drawn from original source materials, The Accidental Viceroy provides an authoritative account of the working of the Raj at its height." --Thomas R. Metcalf, University of California, Berkeley "A great read. Edwin Hirschmann combines first-rate research scholarship with engaging prose. A biography of the British Viceroy for India, Robert Bulwer-Lytton (1876-1880), this fascinating account covers a period of critical change for both empire and colony. Viceroy Lytton's life provides the ideal lens for examining the leading developments--the plotting against rival Russia, the determined efforts to snuff out incipient Indian nationalism, providing a clear-eyed account of Britain at its colonial best and worst, its imperialism inexorably intertwined with the racism and misogyny of the Victorian age. The product of a lifetime of study and reflection, Accidental Viceroy will be of great value to anyone interested in comparative imperialism and the tools and ideologies of domination. This volume will also make a fine choice as a focus reading for courses in modern world history." --Ronn Pineo, Towson University "Few Viceroys of India merit a biography as much as Lord Robert Bulmer-Lytton, whose brief tenure coincided with so many momentous developments in British India. Hirschman's fine study shows how such a fascinating figure as Lytton--flamboyant, flippant, disputatious, prone to depression, and frustrated by a position he neither expected nor for which he had much appetite, aptitude, or experience--responded to the strategic, economic, political, and cultural challenges which increasingly strained British rule in India. Lytton's susceptibility to racially-charged and culturally-deterministic readings of India and its people, which underpinned his aristocratically-inclined romanticism, pitted him against advocates for change, whether they were in India or in Britain." --Douglas Peers, University of Waterloo, A great read.

Synopsis
The Age of Imperialism reached its peak in the late 19th century. The British empire was the foremost colonial power, and the keystone was India. However, even at its peak, the British India empire was beset by internal rivalries and fears of external threats. In 1875, British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli chose as vicroy Lord Robert Bulwer-Lytton, diplomat and poet, the son of an old friend, but someone with no Indian experience. Lytton accepted reluctantly - and never enjoyed it. He was under the thumb of the Secretary of State for India, the shrewd and ambitious Third Marquess of Salisbury, during most of his four years in India. During his viceroyalty, Lytton had to deal with shifting British policies, a major famine, the freedom-loving people of Afghanistan, an entrenched civil service, and a rising generation of patriotic Indians. In the 1880 elections Disraeli's Conservatives were defeated by Gladstone's Liberals, and Lytton resigned., The Age of Imperialism reached its peak in the late nineteenth century.
