This book highlights emerging trends and new themes in South Asian
history. It covers issues broadly related to religion, materiality
and nature from differing perspectives and methods to offer a
kaleidoscopic view of Indian history until the late eighteenth
century. The essays in the volume focus on understanding questions
of premodern religion, material culture processes and their spatial
and environmental contexts through a study of networks of
commodities and cultural and religious landscapes. From the early
history of coastal regions such as Gujarat and Bengal to material
networks of political culture, from temples and their connection
with maritime trade to the importance of landscape in influencing
temple-building, from regions considered peripheral to mainstream
historiography to the development of religious sects, this
collection of articles maps the diverse networks and connections
across regions and time. The volume will be of great interest to
scholars and researchers of history, archaeology, museum and
heritage studies, religion, especially Hinduism, Sufism and
Buddhism, and South Asian studies.

This collection of articles on varied facets of early modern Bengal
showcases cutting edge work in the field and hopes to encourage new
research. The essays explore the trading networks, religious
traditions, artistic and literary patronage, and politico-cultural
practices that emerged in roughly sixteenth-eighteenth centuries.
Using a wide array of sources, the contributors to this volume,
coming from diverse academic affiliations,and including many young
researchers, have attempted to address various historiographical
'black holes' bringing in new material and interpretations. Early
modern Bengal's history tends to get overshadowed by the later
developments of the nineteenth century. What this assortment of
articles highlights is that this period needs to be studied afresh,
and in depth. The region underwent rapid transformations as it got
politically integrated with Northern India and its empires and
economically with extensive global economic networks. Combined with
its unique geography, the trajectory of this region in all spheres
manifest an almost constant interplay of local and extra-local
forces - be it in literature, art, economic domain, political and
religious cultures - and considerable enterprise and ingenuity.
Thus, a variety of themes - including travel accounts, Portuguese
and Arakanese presence, early Dutch, French, Ostend companies'
forays into the region, artistic production in the Nizamat and
later collections of art and missionaries, the English company
state's intrusions in local economy in salt and raw silk production
and indigenous reactions and rebellions, consumption practices
related to religious activities, circulation and translation of
texts, representation of women in vernacular writings, and
organization of religious traditions - have been analysed in this
volume, with a wide ranging introduction tying up the themes to the
broader historiographical issues and contexts. The collection will
be an invaluable reference tool for students and scholars of
history, especially of early modern India. Please note: This title
is co-published with Manohar Publishers, New Delhi. Taylor &
Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India,
