I'm Amara, and let me be clear: I never wanted to be Queen. I was just a baker's daughter, living a quiet life, when everything was turned upside down. The previous King's blunders and some absurd prophecy shoved me into a role I never asked for. I didn't fight for the throne—I was thrown into it because of other people's mistakes. Imagine being pulled from a simple life, having to leave your family behind, and suddenly being thrust into a kingdom's chaos. That was my reality. I had to wrestle for my place among nobles who saw me as nothing more than a commoner. Every step I took was a struggle to be acknowledged, not as a hero, but as someone who had no choice but to take on a role that should never have been mine. So here I am, trying to navigate a kingdom that doesn't exactly roll out the red carpet for me. If you're looking for a tale of royal glory and epic heroics, you won't find that here. What you'll find is the story of a girl who was thrown to the wolves and had to figure out how to survive in a world that had no place for her.

Neo-Gothic Narratives defines and theorises what, exactly, qualifies as such a text, what mobilises the employment of the Gothic to speak to our own times, whether nostalgia plays a role and whether there is room for humour besides the sobriety and horror in these narratives across various media. What attracts us to the Gothic that makes us want to resurrect, reinvent, echo it? Why do we let the Gothic redefine us? Why do we let it haunt us? Does it speak to us through intertexuality, self-reflectivity, metafiction, immersion, affect? Are we reclaiming the history of women and other subalterns in the Gothic that had been denied in other forms of history? Are we revisiting the trauma of English colonisation and seeking national identity? Or are we simply tourists who enjoy cruising through the otherworld? The essays in this volume investigate both the readerly experience of Neo-Gothic narratives as well as their writerly pastiche.

The City and the Wilderness recounts the journeys and microhistories of Indo-Persian travelers across the Indian Ocean and their encounters with the Burmese Kingdom and its littoral at the turn of the nineteenth century. As Mughal sovereignty waned under British colonial rule, Indo-Persian travelers and intermediaries linked to the East India Company explored and surveyed the Burmese Empire, inscribing it as a forest landscape and Buddhist kingdom at the crossroads of South and Southeast Asia. Based on colonial Persian travel books and narratives in which Indo-Persian knowledge and perceptions of the wondrous edges of the Indian Ocean merged with Orientalist pursuits, The City and the Wilderness uncovers fading histories of inter-Asian crossings and exchanges at the ends of the Mughal world.
