Editorial Reviews

Methodologically, Recasting Women breaks new ground in the historiography of the nineteenth-century renaissance in Bengal because it substitutes colonial discourse for empirical history. Thirteen people representing economics, political science, journalism, history, Hindi Linguistics, English literature, and feminist studies have joined together to deconstruct the positive history of the renaissance elite under British rule.
