Trade Review
"Writing Self, Writing Empire is a fascinating reading that is to be recommended for everyone who is interested in Mughal history and culture, literature studies, intellectual history or simply a fresh look at a time that at first glance appears so distant. Truly khāss-pasand wa ʿāmm-fahm: interesting to specialists and intelligible to a general audience." * Sehepunkte *
