Autor

James Talboys Wheeler (1824-1897) was a noted 19th-century British historian, civil servant, and writer who is widely recognized for his works on Indian history and the British administration in India. His most significant contribution to historical literature is 'India Under British Rule from the Foundation of the East India Company,' where he chronicles the complex interactions between the British East India Company and the Indian subcontinent. Wheeler's literary style meticulously combines narrative history with administrative insights, reflecting his personal experiences in the Indian civil service. His writings exhibit a detailed understanding of the political, social, and economic facets of British colonial rule. Although a product of his times, Wheeler's scholarly attention to archival sources grants contemporary readers a viewpoint from within the colonial administrative framework. His body of work continues to be referenced in discussions of colonial histories and the impact of Empire on Indian society. Wheeler's other historical works, often orientalist in nature, provide context and historical perspectives on the British Empire's presence in India, albeit through the lens of Victorian values and imperial attitudes common to the era.
