Bøker av Heidi Rika Maria (University of Washington) Pauwels

Through literary and art-historical analysis, Pauwels brings to life the vibrant cultural production center of Kishangarh in the eighteenth century. Reconstructing how Bani-?hani came to be acclaimed as 'India's Mona Lisa,' she conveys new insights in the history of Hindi literature, devotion, palace women, and social mobility of the enslaved.
