This book offers a new interpretation of the life and legacy of the
Indian reformer and intellectual, Ishvarchandra Vidyasagar
(1820-91). Drawing upon autobiography, biography, secondary
criticism and a range of Vidyasagar's original writings in Bengali,
the book interrogates the role of history, memory and controversy,
and emphasises the key challenge of pinning down the identity of an
enigmatic and multi-faceted figure. By examining lesser-known works
of Vidyasagar (including several pseudonymous and posthumous works)
alongside the evidence of his public career, the author calls
attention to the colonial transformation of intellectual and social
life, the nature of life writing, the limits of standard
biographies and the problem of modern Indian identity as such.
Based on decades of research and an original perspective, this book
will be especially useful to scholars of modern Indian history,
biographical studies, comparative literature and those interested
in Bengal.
