Mutiny at the Margins: New Perspectives on the Indian Uprising of 1857

The Mutiny at the Margins series takes a fresh look at the revolt of 1857 from a variety of original and unusual perspectives, focusing in particular on neglected socially marginal groups and geographic areas which have hitherto tended to be unrepresented in studies of this cataclysmic event in British imperial and Indian historiography. Perception, Narration and Reinvention: The Pedagogy and Historiography of the Indian Uprising (Volume 6) moves into the territory of hagiography and pedagogy. It covers intellectual and popular reactions to the revolt and the various ways in which historians and the wider public in India, Pakistan, and Britain have sought to understand, categorise and at times distort or exaggerate salient aspects and particular events.     INDICE: PrefaceAcknowledgementsIntroduction - Crispin BatesI: THE WRITING OF 18571857 and the Indian Intelligentsia - Sudhir Chandra1857: Historical Works and Proclamations - Rajat Ray and Nupur ChaudhuriV.
