Book Synopsis Madly After the Muses by : Alexander Riddiford
Book excerpt: This volume examines the use of Graeco-Roman samplings in the Bengali works of Michael Madhusudan Datta (1824-1873). Riddiford introduces new texts and contexts to the fields of classical reception and postcolonial scholarship, offering a surprising early chapter in the story of the dissemination and reception of the Graeco-Roman classics in India.
