Not a research paradigm, he insists, it is more of an oppositionswissenschaft, a way of trying to constantly break the moulds of historical objects. The essays collected here, some quite polemical - as in the lead text on the notion of India-as-civilization, or another, assessing such a literary totem as V. S. Naipaul - illustrate the breadth of Subrahmanyam's concerns, as well as the quality of his writing. Connected History considers what, exactly, is an empire, the rise of 'the West' (less of a place than an idea or ideology, he insists), Churchill and the Great Man theory of history, the reception of world literature and the itinerary of subaltern studies, in addition to personal recollections of life and work in Delhi, Paris and Lisbon, and concluding remarks on the practice of early-modern history and the framing of historical enquiry. 650 0 $a Mythology, Indic. 650 0 $a English fiction $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Historiography. 651 0 $a India $x Civilization. 651 0 $a India $x Historiography. 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781839762390 830 0 $a Verso world history series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030938.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BECB0B46A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
