Religion, Enlightenment and Empire

Beschreibung

In the second half of the eighteenth century, several British East India Company servants published accounts of what they deemed to be the original and ancient religion of India. Jessica Patterson's original study situates these Company works on the 'Hindu religion' in the contexts of enlightenment and empire.
