Journal of Asian Studies 63.1 (February 2004): CURRENT RESEARCH By examining texts from nineteenth-early twentieth century Britain and its empire, my book project, Loyalty and the Making of the Modern, traces the centrality of notions of loyalty to the epoch of the industrial modern. In so doing, the book identifies the transimperial circuit as crucial for stabilizing the seemingly counterintuitive relation between loyalty and modernity; it also posits the transimperial as a heuristic for studying the expansive yet connected nodes of multilingual literary production across empire.
