Opis

This innovative revisiting of South Asian intellectual history critically examines Nirad C. Chaudhuri, the writer and defender of empire.

Recenzje

'By deftly placing Nirad C. Chaudhuri in local and world history, in subterranean, unexpected lineages to do with melancholy and book-collecting, and within his own vivid self-contradictions, Ian Almond gives us a shrewd, eloquent, and much-needed reappraisal of a remarkable man who had, on many levels, embraced the entirety of the twentieth century.' Amit Chaudhuri, University of East Anglia
