Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Through the analysis of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century texts on the Hindu Kingdom of Kota in Rajasthan, in this 2003 book Norbert Peabody explores the ways in which historical consciousness, or memory, is culturally constructed and how this consciousness informs social experience. By building on the premise that no society receives the past in a transparent, universal and objective way, he unravels how the past in Kota has been fashioned. His analysis demonstrates how different styles of historical interpretation sustain different regimes, and how specific varieties of social and political activity are founded upon these different perceptions of the past. In this way, he suggests that different societies not only establish different co-ordinates of value in their constructions of the past, but also that the very processes of social and political transformation differ from society to society. This is a fascinating and challenging book which promises to become a classic in the field.…

Hardcover in slipcase. Condition: NEW. limited edition of 750 copies. To commemorate its bicentenary, the Royal Asiatic Society has commissioned a limited edition re-issue of Lt.-Col. James Tod's Annals and Antiquities of Rajast'han, with a new Companion Volume by Norbert Peabody. James Tod was a founding member of the Society and its first librarian. While librarian, he completed his Annals (originally published in 1829 and 1832), which was the literary fruit of his 23-year East India Company career, during which he served as the first Political Agent to the Western Rajput States of Rajasthan (181822). --- Yale University Press , distributed for the Royal Asiatic Society, January 2024. 1728 Pages, 11.50 x 8.56 in, 195 color + b-w illus. In English, numbered limited edition of 750 copies. re-issue of the original text including over 80 original copperplate engravings, woodblock prints, and lithographs returns the text to its original state + commentary volume. The two volumes of James Tod's Annals and Antiquities of Rajast'han, first published in 182932, remain to this day the first port of call for anyone interested in the history and culture of Rajasthan and the early colonial encounter in India. Written by the first East India Company official to the region, the text was also seminal for the early figures in India's independence movement who reworked Tod's imagined ancient Rajput national identities into a call for India's national liberation from British colonial rule. Now available in a numbered limited edition of 750 copies, this re-issue of the original text including over 80 original copperplate engravings, woodblock prints, and lithographs returns the text to its original state, while the accompanying companion volume critically reframes this monumental, but often misunderstood, work. The new volume shows how Tod's Annals is not merely the product of the singular voice of a Western "orientalist" imagination, instead revealing a richly complex work in which Rajasthani voices provide a "multi-authored" heterogeneity to the text which is often discordant and unpredictable. Re-articulating the variety of voices that simultaneously inhabit Tod's Annals, the revised volume argues for a more conjunctural, contingent, and open-ended reading of colonial history. The authors: Norbert Peabody is an affiliated scholar at the Centre of South Asian Studies, University of Cambridge. Ramya Sreenivasan is associate professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania. Brian Cannon is a PhD student in South Asian history at the University of Pennsylvania. --- Key Features of the Re-issue - a complete restoration of the two volumes of Tod's original text and the 80+ original copperplate engravings, woodblock prints, and lithographs to its first edition state. All the illustrations have been digitally restored from proof prints in the RAS. Reproductions of five additional, previously unpublished engravings from the Tod collection supplement the restored text. - a third, companion volume including a preface, two introductory essays, 125,000 words of annotations, a full bibliography, and an extensive glossary of Indian terms used by Tod. --- Although this text has remained in print since its first publication, almost all currently available reprints of it derive from the 1920 'Crooke edition' in which the editor heavily edited Tod's text silently distorting it in the process so that much of its original intellectual intent and expressive force became lost. The RAS's anniversary edition, with the accompanying Companion Volume, returns the text to its original state and provides the contemporary reader with the necessary background, critical apparatus, and interpretive frames to better understand this monumental, but often misunderstood, work.…
