Abstract

The paper deals with Forster’s novel A Passage to India, depicting the historical background to the ever-growing divisions and clashes in India under the British Empire. Focusing on the issues of identity and centre-margin relationship in a colony, the author aims to show how topical and dynamic these issues are in the postcolonial world too. A particular attention is paid to the position of women in the novel, thus showing the comprehensive range of postcolonial paradigms, whose focus today is rather interdisciplinary.
