Sensitive Reading

"The scholarly interpretations and commentary in this volume represent some of the most prominent voices in the philological and historical study of South Asia--a galaxy of experts in literary analysis and other subfields of South Asian cultural history. This volume beautifully illuminates the generative possibilities of the intimate, context-sensitive mode of reading that David Shulman has engaged in for decades."--Davesh Soneji, Department of South Asia Studies, University of Pennsylvania
