Whitney Cox

Opis

Whitney Cox presents a fundamental re-imagining of the politics of pre-modern India through a revisionist reading of the dynastic history of the Cholas.

Recenzje

'In what is essentially a biography of a great South Indian king, Whitney Cox tells a splendid tale, but one that challenges us as well. I cannot imagine a more welcome contribution to scholarship on the history of India - and indeed to much more (Indian literature, historiography, political theory …).' Leslie C. Orr, Concordia University, Montreal and author of Donors, Devotees and Daughters of God: Temple Women in Medieval Tamilnadu
