This book weaves William Thomas Thornton's life story into the
larger themes of his diverse writings whose purpose was to expose
ambiguities and contradictions in politics, economics, metaphysics
and religion. Thornton was a poet, an intrepid traveler, a
biographer, an essayist, an imperial mandarin, and a dutiful family
man. Thornton joined the East India Company in the mid-1830s,
rising to become Secretary of the India Office's Department of
Public Works. This study uses Thornton's letters and other
recently-discovered primary material to provide a fascinating
account that returns his compelling life to the center of
nineteenth-century British intellectual thought.
