UPCOMING EVENTS IN EARLY MODERN STUDIES
*Friday, May 4, 2018, 2-4pm
CES Dissertation Workshop
Knowledge and the East India Company State, 1785-1795
Joshua Ehrlich, Harvard University
Goldman Room, Adolphus Busch Hall, Harvard University, 27 Kirkland Street, Cambridge MA
The last years of the eighteenth century have been seen as both a golden age of British Indological research and a period of intense political pressure on the East India Company. These were the years of the polymath William Jones's research in Sanskrit and Indo-Persian, the MP Edmund Burke's prosecution of former governor-general Warren Hastings, and the present governor-general Charles Cornwallis's overhaul of the Company's Bengal administration. The relations of these landmark developments with each other and with the politics of knowledge comprises the subject of this chapter.
