Description

Explore the complex history of religious and colonial interactions in nineteenth century Sri Lanka with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines how British scholars, officials, travelers, and religious seekers represented and constructed their understanding of Buddhism during their first encounters with the faith. By tracing three distinct historical phases from 1796 to 1900, the text provides a nuanced look at the cultural and political influences that shaped early British perspectives. This study is essential for readers interested in how these early perceptions helped condition the later transmission of Buddhism to the Western world. It offers a deep look into the missionary and colonial experiences that defined an era of inter-religious engagement in Asia.
