This book was released on 2009-01-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the incidental consequences of the success of British arms in eighteenth-century India was the appearance of a number of publications which reflect the intense curiosity of contemporary Europeans about strange peoples, their manners and religions. Of the three principal religions of India, Hinduism attracted the most attention. European contact with Islam was several centuries old, while few travellers could identify Buddhism with any certainty. This book reprints some of the most significant English contributions to the early European understanding of Hinduism.

Download or read book Trade and Conquest written by Peter James Marshall and published by Variorum Publishing. This book was released on 1993 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the eighteenth century the British presence in India changed dramatically. Trading enclaves on the coast conquered major provinces and for the first time large sections of the Indian population came under British rule. The essays in this volume focus on this great transformation and offer new interpretations of it. They explore the link between commercial expansion and military conquest, between the policies of the East India Company and the personal interests of its servants, and between Englishmen and the Indians who did business with them or offered their services as administrators. Bengal was the first great prize of British territorial expansion, and Bengal and Calcutta feature prominently in this collection.La présence britannique en Inde s'est dramatiquement transformée au cours du 18e siècle, les enclaves commerciales des régions côtières ont conquis un nombre de provinces majeures et, pour la première fois, d'importantes sections de la population indienne se sont retrouvées sous l'égide britannique. Les essais contenus dans ce volume se concentrent sur cette transformation et en proposent de nouvelles interprétations. Les rapports entre l'expansion commerciale et la conquête militaire, entre la politique de la Compagnie de l'Inde Orientale et les intérêts personnels de ses serviteurs, ainsi que ceux existant entre les Anglais et les Indiens, qui faisaient affaire avec eux, ou leur offraient leurs services en tant qu'administrateurs, y sont tour à tour explorés. Le Bengale a été le premier grand prix de l'expansion territoriale britannique et, avec Calcutta, est un des thèmes prédominant cette collection.

Download or read book William Blake Seen in My Visions A Descriptive Catalogue of Pictures written by William Blake and published by Tate Enterprises Ltd. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1809 the little-known artist William Blake held an exhibition of 16 paintings in a private house in Soho in the west end of London. Works inspired by Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" and John Milton's "Paradise Lost" sat alongside biblical scenes and Arthurian legend. The exhibition was not a success; the only review in the press was extremely unfavourable and few of the public came. One of those who did was the poet Charles Lamb, who later described the pictures as 'hard, dry, yet with grace', and the catalogue that accompanied the show as 'mystical and full of vision'. It is this catalogue that Tate Publishing are once again making available. In it, the scale and range of Blake's ambition are made plain, along with his theories on painting, his unsparing critiques of other artists and some extraordinary insights into the working of his mind. The only detailed writing on art that remains to us by Blake, it throws light on all his subsequent artistic enterprises, including the illuminated books for which he is perhaps most famous. Part commentary and part manifesto, his catalogue is as radical as it is in places eccentric (he claims at one point to have been transported in a "vision" back to the classical world). Fully illustrated in colour with reproductions of surviving works originally in the exhibition, the book includes an illuminating essay by leading authority on British art Martin Myrone, Lead Curator of Pre-1800 Art at Tate Britain, making it an essential purchase for all of those wanting to know more.
