Robert Clive: References & Edit History
More Articles On This Topic
Additional Reading
Clive’s career in India is discussed in H.H. Dodwell, Dupleix and Clive (1920, reprinted 1968); and his relations with the East India Company in Britain are presented in Lucy Sutherland, The East India Company in 18th Century Politics (1952). A detailed but uncritical biography is G.W. Forrest, The Life of Lord Clive, 2 vol. (1918). A.M. Davies, Clive of Plassey (1939), offers the best personal study.
