This book explores the intellectual and literary engagements of the Indo-Persianate intelligentsia from the late-Mughal era to the early colonial period. It situates the writings of the Indo-Islamic elite within the broader context of the Mughal empire’s gradual decline and the British colonial ascendancy. Additionally, it examines Indian agency in shaping the Orientalist tradition. Two dedicated chapters explore British Romantic writers’ fascination with the poetics of ^Hāfi]z Shīrāzi and the modern critical reception of Indo-Persian poet Amīr Khusraw Dehlavī.
Gulfishan Khan is a historian of Medieval and Early Modern South Asian History. She earned her doctorate from the University of Oxford. She is a recipient of Commonwealth Scholarship (SOAS) and Bahari Visiting Fellowship at the University of Oxford.
