Year 10: The Sign of Four research. The British Empire and the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

The novel makes many references to India during the Victorian era, which means you will need to understand a little about The British Empire and India at the time. Later in the text, some action is specifically set during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, so it is vital that you understand what this was and why it happened before we read on. This will help you with AO3 - understanding contextual influences.
