520 _aSince it was first published in 2006, this beloved volume of essays by A. R. Venkatachalapathy on the cultural history of colonial Tamilnadu has been enjoyed equally by scholars looking for rigorous history-writing and lay informed readers in search of a classic good read. The new expanded edition hopes to do more of the same. The author draws from sources as varied as poetry, fiction, essays, reviews, comments, advertisements, and notices to bring to life a rich and vibrant cultural history. As authoritative as they are captivating, the ten essays in the volume represent a valuable addition to the small corpus of history titles which also qualify as accomplished writing.
