Soft cover. Condition: New. Allison Busch (1969-2019) was a pioneer in the field of classical Hindi studies. It is a field she helped to create in modern Western scholarship. She possessed a profound knowledge of the languages themselves - Braj Bhasha in particular, but also Avadhi, Bhojpuri, Hindustani, Khari Boli, Sanskrit, and others. She also understood the importance of placing the artifacts of these languages in their aesthetic, social, and political contexts to make full sense of them. Her arguments on the Mughals' role in sustaining - or even inaugurating - Braj Bhasha literary culture epitomise the innovative, even revolutionary, quality of her thinking. Hindi and History brings together all of Allison Busch's important research papers on these topics, along with nine reminiscences from students and colleagues. The volume is a testament to the extraordinary breadth and enduring value of her scholarly contribution, but more, it is a kind of Tuhfat al-Hind, or Gift for India - something she herself would have been delighted to offer had she been given the chance. …

Hardcover. Condition: New. Culture and Circulation takes an innovative approach to early modern Indian literature. The authors foreground the complex hybridity of literary genres and social milieus, capturing elements that have eluded traditional literary history.

Soft cover. Condition: New. This book about the classical Hindi tradition brings alive the world of Mughal-era poetry and court culture. Allison Busch draws on literary, social, and intellectual history to elucidate one of premodern India's most significant textual traditions, documenting the rise of a new type of professional Hindi writer. She also offers insights into the motives that animated this literary community and its patrons. She examines how riti literature served as an important aesthetic and political resource in the multicultural world of Mughal India, looking in detail at Keshavdas, whose seminal Rasikpriya (Handbook for Poetry Connoisseurs, 1591) was the catalyst for a new Hindi classicism. The circulation of Hindi literature among diverse communities during this period is testament to a remarkable pluralism. Modern Hindi and Urdu, this book shows, cannot be understood as 'Hindu' and 'Muslim' languages.…
