Jane Williams spent part of her childhood in India. Her father and brother both worked for the British East India Company, which effectively colonized much of the subcontinent during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Her father died when she was very young, leaving her brother,  John Wheeler Cleveland, as her guardian. He remained in colonial military service his entire life, dying as General Cleveland, in his nineties in what is now called "Fraser Town" (Pulakeshinagar), near "Bangalore" (Bangaluru) in "the Carnatic" (Karnataka) in southern India. You can see General Cleveland's final house in this 2014 blog post, "A Walk Down Fraser Town." Jane claimed to be able to speak Hindi (not the major language of Bangaluru) and on one occasion wore "Indian" fashion to the Mardi Gras carnival in Pisa, accompanied by Mary Shelley. She seems to have considered India her childhood home, meaning she likely felt out of place everywhere. This makes her very much like Miranda, the heroine of SHakespeare's play The Tempest, whom Shelley represents as the receiver of the guitar in "With a Guitar, to Jane" ("Ariel to Miranda," line 1). Miranda, born in Naples and raised in exile on a remote, nearly deserted island is a figure of perpetual alienation and a colonist, just like Jane. 

The Ramadevara Betta Ramgiri Hills, Bangalore, India. Jane Williams might have found this landmark sublime, no?
