Many references to the event were made in later novels and films. Julian Rathbone describes the brutality of both British and Indian forces during the siege of Cawnpore in his novel "The Mutiny". In the novel, the Indian nurse Lavanya rescues an English child, Stephen, during the Satichaura Ghat massacre. In "Massacre at Cawnpore", V. A. Stuart describes the siege and the British defence through the eyes of the characters Sheridan, and his wife Emmy. George MacDonald Fraser's "Flashman in the Great Game" also contains lengthy scenes set in the entrenchment during the siege and also during the ensuing escape.
