Brief Outline of Research Project:
My project considers World War One texts from India and Britain through the lens of cosmopolitan memory. I argue that cosmopolitan memory exists in earlier forms of expression, and I investigate its formulation during World War One era through consideration of various forms, including the novel, short story and letters. My PhD excavates the role and impact of memory through a cosmopolitan lens to emphasise the importance of universal experience.
