"Our Narratives, and Theirs: Recounting the Conquest of India, 1750-1780" looks at how English accounts of the conquest of India by the East India Company made use of, and subsumed, materials in other languages, mainly Persian. It argues that this process of absorption and reutilization was often subtle, and involved shifts in tone and texture as much as content. Subrahmanyam is Distinguished Professor and Doshi Chair of Indian History at UCLA. Held in the Eleanor Roosevelt College Admin. Bldg. (ERC), Room 115. [email protected].
