Cosmopolitan Dreams

The Making of Modern Urdu Literary Culture in Colonial South Asia

Beschreibung

In late nineteenth-century South Asia, the arrival of print fostered a dynamic and interactive literary culture. Within the pages of Urdu-language publications, readers found a public sphere that encouraged their reactions to featured content. This book shows how literature became a site in which modern daily life could be satirized, modernity challenged, and new futures imagined.
