The House, the World, and the Theatre
The House, the World, and the Theatre departs from three ideologically resonant spatial metaphors to explore key aspects of nineteenth-century literature and culture. At the centre of the discussion is the way authors fashioned themselves to cater to ever-expanding audiences and to the new conditions of publishing. The prefaces of Hawthorne, Dickens, and James illustrate the conflicts underlying the new forms of self-definition in the nineteenth century and mediate the perception of authorship as a category that blurs the boundaries between social life and performance. This book combines genre criticism, new historicism, literary history, and contemporary perspectives in readings that show the imaginative quality of prefatory writing and the enduring relevance of canonical authors in the twenty-first century.
Deccan in Transition, 1600 to 1800
This book presents the socio-cultural and historical trajectories of the Deccan plateau as well as the coastal areas of the current states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa. It studies the art of diplomacy by discussing the diplomatic relations between the Marathas and various European companies, as well as the indigenous regional states. The author also probes into the Maratha naval policy, the evolution of a composite Deccani culture and the cultural flux that was taking place within the Maratha country. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the volume examines how caste and gender relations operated, how the idea of dissent was generated as well as the socio-political impact of various linguistic, ethnic and religious groups. Through a study of monuments, sculpture and paintings prevalent in the region, the book also discusses the developments in art and architecture in the Deccan. Rich in archival sources, this book is a must read for scholars and researchers of Indian history, colonial history, South Asian history, Maratha history and history in general.

Hurt
Elle est sa lumière. Il sera sa part d’ombre. Depuis un an, Heather vit chaque journée comme un défi. L’équilibre qu’elle a réussi à instaurer menace pourtant de basculer quand Shane refait irruption dans sa vie. Plein de rage et aveuglé par la douleur, il n’a plus rien de l’homme solaire qu’elle a connu auparavant. S’il a été le meilleur ami d’Heather pendant longtemps, aujourd’hui il sera son meilleur ennemi. Et il compte bien lui rappeler que tout choix implique des conséquences. Mais si dans l’ombre, quelqu’un décidait de bouleverser la donne ? *** J’ai envie d’elle au point que la regarder sans la toucher devient une véritable torture. Je ne me reti...
