Indian History |
This volume reflects on certain themes which formed the bedrock of Eric Stokes` historical writings--History of ideas, the 1857 upheaval, agrarian structure and peasant struggles, It is a major contribution to the existing historical literature on South Asia. As one of the reviewers pointed out, what the book has done, is to bring together a significant number of well-reasearched, empirically and analytically-sound papers. No mean achievement, perhaps, at a time when rigorous, professionally-competent historicall scholarship is all too often dismissed as tainted by "positivism" and insufficiently "theoretical".`
