摘要：This fascinating exploration by Hermione de Almeida and George H. Gilpin continues a strong series of studies, ‘British Art and Visual Culture since 1750: New Readings’, which attempts to unpack the social history, consumption, and display of British visual culture. This valuable addition, Indian Renaissance, gallantly strives to redress balances and bring the Indian sub-continent back from the periphery of British cultural concerns. The book’s narrative attempts to highlight British Art’s relation to imperial history in the context of British artists travelling to India during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries with unbridled fascination and wonder, eventually bringing home impressions of an India which informed the imaginations and curiosities of the Romantic Movement.
