Romantic India and Indian Romantics: British Romanticism and colonial modernity in India, 1780-1840.

这个项目转向英国浪漫主义和19世纪初孟加拉的英语文本，以更深入地理解文学与殖民主义、印度现代性和新兴的印度民族主义历史之间的复杂交织。在赋予浪漫主义文学印度维度的同时，该项目还在新的背景下重新思考了浪漫主义的英国性。要强调的文本是那些以富有想象力的同情和对话行为跨越国界的文本，包括基督教西方和穆斯林/印度教东方之间的交流。成果将包括通过创新的学术研究和公众参与提高印度研究的知名度。

This project turns to British Romanticism and to Anglophone texts of early-19th century Bengal to arrive at a deeper understanding of the complex intertwining of literature with the histories of colonialism, of Indian modernity, and an emergent Indian nationalism. In giving Romantic literature an Indian dimension, the project also rethinks the Englishness of Romanticism in a new context. Texts to be highlighted are those which traverse national borders in imaginative acts of sympathy and dialogue, including exchanges between the Christian West and the Muslim/Hindu East. Outcomes will include a higher profile for Indian studies through innovative scholarship and public engagement.
