Description

This work shows how the gender structure of Indian society shaped the Indian experience of love in the 19th and 20th centuries. The unique quality of this experience derived from the persistence of caste despite the rise of a new romantic mentality. It is demonstrated that an unsuspected sexual formation of society determined emotional history.
