Transnational Women Writers in the Wilmot Coterie, 1798-1840
Highlights the centrality of non-canonical, middle-ranking women writers to the production of literature and culture in Britain, Ireland, Europe and Russia in the late eighteenth century. The Irish writers and editors Katherine (1773-1824) and Martha Wilmot (1775-1873) left a unique record of middle-ranking women's literary practices and experiences of travel in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Their manuscripts are notable for their vivid portrayal of the era's political conflicts, capturing a flight from Ireland during the Irish Rebellion (1798), time spent in Paris during the Peace of Amiens (1801-03), and extended residences in Russia during the Napoleonic Wars.

Women, Environment, and Networks of Empire
Elizabeth Gwillim (1763–1807) and her sister Mary Symonds (1772–1854) produced over two hundred watercolours depicting birds, fish, flowers, people, and landscapes around Madras (now Chennai). The sisters’ detailed letters fill four large volumes in the British Library; their artwork is in the Blacker Wood Natural History Collection of McGill University Library in Canada and in the South Asia Collection in Britain. The first book about their work and lives, Women, Environment, and Networks of Empire asks what these materials reveal about nature, society, and environment in early nineteenth-century South India. Gwillim and Symonds left for India in 1801, following the appointment of Eli...
The Sky Poured Down Candy
Bringing together archival research and literary analysis, this microhistorical study explores the decline of the Mughal empire through the life of a petty Mughal official Abdul Jalil Bilgrami as he navigated uncertainty amid the shifting currents of imperial power. Illuminating the everyday realities of a fading dynasty on the Indian subcontinent, the book offers a deeply personal lens into Bilgrami’s socio-cultural world. It also engages with broader questions of historical methodology, demonstrating how literary evidence, such as personal letters and poems, can breathe life into structural histories. By centring a lesser-known historical figure, it challenges conventional elite-centric narratives and underscores the value of microhistory in understanding larger historical processes. This volume will appeal to scholars, students, and general readers of Mughal history, South Asian studies, microhistory, and global literary studies. It is an ideal resource for educators seeking to enrich their courses as part of these specializations and diversify their recommended reading.
Life Stories in Mughal India
Situated at the intersections between history and literature, the book explores the life-stories written in the Mughal period to recover socio-cultural developments in the period. It focuses on the genre of life-stories and looks at the complex interactions between agency and the ruling structure in shaping historical formations. The biographical dictionaries explored in this book highlight the significance of the agency of political actors, and the strategies through which the aristocrats and the elites reproduced the political system. At the same time, these texts are also quite helpful in recovering processes through which the ordinary people, in routine, everyday forms negotiated with an...
Crossing Boundaries and Confounding Identity
Crossing Borders and Confounding Identity advances our understanding of the diversity of Chinese women's experiences and achievements, from the Han Dynasty to the present.
