India in the Persianate Age

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 feb 2021

"Given his groundbreaking studies on the Deccan, Bengal, and the Punjab, Richard M. Eaton's name is synonymous with the best historical writing on premodern India. This book is a consummation of his earlier work, complemented by a thorough absorption of the latest scholarship by other experts. It is the best general history available for the period, whether you are a scholar or a general reader looking to discover the richness of Indian history."--Shahzad Bashir, Aga Khan Professor of Islamic Humanities, Brown University

"A masterful survey written by a leading historian of the medieval and early modern eras of South Asia. This significant intervention serves to free historical thinking about South Asia from the national and religious categories it has been trapped in for the last century. Writing in lucid and elegant prose, Eaton makes this history accessible for general readers and undergraduates."--Azfar Moin, Associate Professor, University of Texas at Austin

Recenzii

Remarkable... Richard Eaton's brilliant book stands as an important monument to this almost forgotten world.
By rethinking this history as India's 'Persianate age', Eaton breaks free from religious sectarianism that projects today's tensions into the past ... His book is a fine tribute to India.
A brilliant, gripping, refreshing and scholarly history of Indiafrom 1000AD to the 1750s, analysing the power of the Delhi Sultanate, the Mogul Empire, its rise and decline and the rise of the East India Company -totally essential reading.
Genius ...India in the Persianate Ageis Eaton's mature masterpiece.It will, undoubtedly, become the authoritative account of this most politically controversial period of South Asia's long history.
A richly researched, badly needed and wholly convincing account ...World history proves its worth.
Richard Eaton employs rich empirical detail to demonstrate that intellectual encounters between the Sanksrit and Persian worlds were not tied to any one religion and that the two were not hostile ... and does so with great panache.
