Rethinking Early Modern India Richard B. Barnett This anthology of ten papers in five disciplines, from a conference at the University of Virginia, vastly expands our understanding of the much-maligned early modern period of South Asian history and civilization. Written for both academic and general readers, these original forays in history, literature, art history, architecture, and drama illuminate South Asia's development just prior to the rise and consolidation of the British Raj. |
