"This book offers a focused examination of the Bengali Vaiṣṇava tradition in its manifold
forms in the pivotal context of British colonialism in South Asia. Bringing together
scholars from across the disciplines of social and intellectual history, philology,
theology, and anthropology to systematically investigate Vaiṣṇavism in colonial Bengal,
this book highlights the significant roles―religious, social, and cultural―that a
prominent Hindu devotional current played in the lives of wide and diverse sections
of colonial Bengali society. Not only does the book thereby enrich our understanding
of the history and development of Bengali Vaiṣṇavism, but it also sheds valuable new
light on the texture and dynamics of colonial Hinduism beyond the discursive and social-historical
parameters of an entrenched Hindu "Renaissance" paradigm. A landmark in the burgeoning
field of Bengali Vaiṣṇava studies, this book will be of interest to scholars of modern
Hinduism, religion, and colonial South Asian social and intellectual history."
