Finally in one place: New Perspectives on the Life and Worlds of Sir William Jones, a forum edited by @stewbomber and me, and featuring terrific essays by @AsheeshKSi , @J_E_Patterson , Kapil Raj, and @rkkinra https://t.co/eQv6oBJATW
'New Perspectives on the Life and Worlds of Sir William Jones', a forum edited by @dr_jehrlich and me, is now online at GIH. Jurisprudence, Religion, Politics, Knowledge Production, and Philology - in Britain and India - all discussed (among other things).
1/ The intro to "New Perspectives on the Life and Worlds of Sir William Jones" is now up online! As @stewbomber and I explain, the forum is the first collective reassessment of the famous orientalist since the 1990s. https://t.co/te9SSIQkdz
How did scholarship intersect with politics in the case of the orientalist Sir William Jones? I argue here that Jones was a consummate political operator who lacked any fixed philosophy about British rule in India. https://t.co/SnRnd9H81d
