Produktbeschreibung

The Revolt of 1857 in India has largely been viewed as an event that was of interest to British and Indian scholars investigating the various consequences of British colonial rule in India. This collection of essays offers a look at some of these European responses.

---

This book documents representations of the Revolt of 1857 in India in non-English speaking Europe. It casts light on the impact of the Revolt elsewhere - its international dimension - examining its probable influence on simultaneous articulations of nationalist identities in central, south and eastern Europe.
