This book reconstructs the history of print and publishing in
colonial Bengal by tracing the unexpected journey of Bharat
Chandra's Bidyasundar, the first book published by a Bengali
entrepreneur. The introduction of printing technology by the
British in Bengal expanded the scope of publication and consumption
of books significantly. This book looks at the developments and the
parallel publishing initiatives of that time. It examines local
enterprises in colonial Bengal engaged in producing and selling
books and explores the ways in which they charted out a cultural
space in the 19th century. The work sheds fresh light on book
production and the culture of print, and narrates the processes
behind the printing of books to understand the multi-layered
literary practices they sustained. A valuable addition to the
history of publishing in India, this book will be useful to
scholars and researchers of South Asian and Indian history, Bengali
literature, media and cultural studies, and print and publishing
studies. It will also appeal to those interested in the history of
Bengal and the Bengali diaspora.
