Making of Western Ideology Henry Thomas Colebrook and the East India Company

Henry Thomas Colebrooke was an East India Company civil servant who became the father of modern Indology. He embodies the significant passage from the speculative yearnings attendant on eighteenth century colonial expansion, to the professional, transnational ethos of nineteenth century intellectual life and scholarly enquiry. Written by renowned academics in the field of Indology, and drawing on new sources, this book traces, explains and evaluates Colebrooke's importance. This modern biography will contribute to the reassessment of Oriental studies that is currently taking place.Rocher, Ludo is the author of 'Making of Western Ideology Henry Thomas Colebrook and the East India Company', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415336017 and ISBN 0415336015.
