This book investigates Rammohun Roy as a transnational celebrity.
It examines the role of religious heterodoxy - particularly
Christian Unitarianism - in transforming a colonial outsider into
an imagined member of the emerging Victorian social order It uses
his fame to shed fresh light on nineteenth-century British
reformers, including advocates of liberty of the press, early
feminists, free trade imperialists, and constitutional reformers
such as Jeremy Bentham. Rammohun Roy's intellectual agendas are
also interrogated, particularly how he employed Unitarianism and
the British satiric tradition to undermine colonial rule in Bengal
and provincialize England as a laggard nation in the progress
towards rational religion and political liberty.
