Shoshee Chunder Dutt was a nineteenth century colonial writer in India. Dutt published many works including Miscellaneous Verses (1845), The Wild Tribes of India (1882), and Bengal: An Account vof the Country from the Earliest Times (1884). Dutt wrote under two English pseudonyms: J.A.G. Barton and Horatio Bickerstoff Rowney. Dutt converted to Christianity along with his poetic cousins; the Vision of Sumeru crafts a clash between the Hindu gods and the teachings of Jesus.
Dutt, according to Romesh Chunder Dutt, writer of The Dutt Family Album, said Shoshee Chunder Dutt “uses the colonizer’s values to eulogize freedom from subjugation.”
