Emotions and Modernity in Colonial India

From Balance to Fervor

Beschreibung

Emotions and Modernity in Colonial India investigates the experiences, interpretations and practices of emotions in India between 1857 and the First World War. It is based on a large archive of sources in Urdu, many explored for the first time, showing the transformation from the ideal of balance and harmony to a desire for strong, visceral and even indomitable passions, which the contemporaries took as a sign for the youthfulness and vigor of thecommunity.
