Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Bengali novelist Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay produced some of the most searching critical reflections on modernity in colonial India. Dr Kaviraj rejects the traditional view that Bankim was a conservative, arguing that we require a different and more complex description of the historical significance of his art. This book is intended for scholars of India's literary, political and cultural history.
