This book consists of incisive and imaginative readings of culture,
politics, and history - and their intersections - in eastern India
from the 16th to the 20th century. Focusing especially on Assam,
Odisha, Bengal, and their margins, the volume explores Indo-Islamic
cultures of rule as located on the cusp of Mughal-cosmopolitan and
regional-local formations. Tracking sensibilities of time and
history, senses of events and persons, and productions of the past
and the present, the volume unravels intimate expressions of
aesthetics and scandals, heroism and martyrdom, and voice and
gender. It examines key questions of the interchanges between
literary cultures and contending nationalisms, culture and
cosmopolitanism, temporality and mythology, literature and
literacy, history and modernity, and print culture and popular
media. The book offers grounded and connected accounts of a large,
important region, usually studied in isolation. It will be of
interest to scholars and students of history, literature, politics,
sociology, cultural studies, and South Asian studies.
