Description

Explore the sensory history of pre-modern India with Sandalwood and Carrion by James McHugh. Published by Oxford University Press, this work provides a comprehensive look at how smell shaped religious and cultural life throughout the first millennium CE. By examining a diverse range of textual sources, including medical texts and poetry, the book reveals the significant role olfactory experiences played in ancient Indian society. Readers will learn about the sophisticated arts of perfumery that emerged within temples, monasteries, and royal courts. These scent traditions were so advanced that they helped drive worldwide ocean trade. The text also investigates how religious discourses viewed the senses, showing that olfactory pleasure was recognized as a valid part of the human experience. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Asia, Indian culture, and the history of the senses.
