Description

Explore the complex literary landscape of eighteenth-century India with Persian Authorship and Canonicity in Late Mughal Delhi. This scholarly work examines how Persian-language writers navigated a period of significant political change. As the historical connection between Persian literary life and Islamic imperial power began to shift, authors had to redefine their roles and their relationship to the language. This book focuses on the textual projects of 'Abd al-Qadir "Bidil" and his students. It examines how these writers utilized both Perso-Arabic and Hindavi literary canons to establish their presence in a politically threatened but poetically prestigious Delhi. By studying these diverse literary efforts, readers gain insight into how authors sought to preserve their cultural legacy during a time of transition. This title is an essential resource for those studying the history of Persian literature, Mughal history, and the evolution of literary canons in South Asia.
