SUMMARY:Dr James White: Community Formation and the Edges of Empire: Panegyric Poetry in Sanʿaʾ and Isfahan\, 1670-1690.
DESCRIPTION:Dr James White is Departmental Lecturer of Persian Studies at Oxford University. His research focuses on multilingualism and the social uses of poetry in the Middle East and South Asia during the late medieval and early modern periods. \n  \nTalk Abstract: \nDuring the latter half of the seventeenth century\, the question of who wielded – and ought to wield – political authority was hotly debated in polities across the western Indian Ocean. Smaller states\, and even exiled scions of large empires\, had their own visions of kingship which called the territorial ambitions of the Ottomans\, Safavids and Mughals into question. In this talk\, I explore political thought in early modern Yemen and Iran\, examining how the polythematic ode (qaṣīda) was used to mould the convictions of audiences. I will compare the writing of al-Ṣārim al-Hindī (d. 1689-90)\, a poet at the court of the Qāsimī Imamate in northern Yemen\, with the verse of Najīb Kāshānī (d. 1711-12)\, who wrote panegyrics to the Mughal prince Akbar during the latter’s exile in Isfahan. I aim to show how the circulation of poetry and transregional networks affected political discourse in communities that stood on the edges of empire.

SUMMARY:Nandini Das: Courting India - England\, Mughal India and the Origins of Empire
DESCRIPTION:  \nCourting India: England\, Mughal India and the Origins of Empire: Nandini Das: Bloomsbury Publishing \nWINNER OF THE BRITISH ACADEMY BOOK PRIZE\nA SPECTATOR\, WATERSTONES\, BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE\, PROSPECT AND HISTORY TODAY BOOK OF THE YEAR \nA profound and ground-breaking new history of one of the most important encounters in the history of colonialism: the British arrival in India in the early seventeenth century. \n‘A triumph of writing and scholarship. It is hard to imagine anyone ever bettering Das’s account of this part of the story‘ – William Dalrymple\, Financial Times \n‘A fascinating glimpse of the origins of the British Empire . . . drawn in dazzling technicolour‘ – Spectator \n‘Beautifully written and masterfully researched\, this has the makings of a classic’ – Peter Frankopan \nLONGLISTED FOR THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE\nSHORTLISTED FOR THE HWA CROWN AWARDS \nWhen Thomas Roe arrived in India in 1616 as James I’s first ambassador to the Mughal Empire\, the English barely had a toehold in the subcontinent. Their understanding of South Asian trade and India was sketchy at best\, and\, to the Mughals\, they were minor players on a very large stage. Roe was representing a kingdom that was beset by financial woes and deeply conflicted about its identity as a unified ‘Great Britain’ under the Stuart monarchy. Meanwhile\, the court he entered in India was wealthy and cultured\, its dominion widely considered to be one of the greatest and richest empires of the world. \nIn Nandini Das’s fascinating history of Roe’s four years in India\, she offers an insider’s view of a Britain in the making\, a country whose imperial seeds were just being sown. It is a story of palace intrigue and scandal\, lotteries and wagers that unfolds as global trade begins to stretch from Russia to Virginia\, from West Africa to the Spice Islands of Indonesia. \nA major debut that explores the art\, literature\, sights and sounds of Jacobean London and Imperial India\, Courting India reveals Thomas Roe’s time in the Mughal Empire to be a turning point in history – and offers a rich and radical challenge to our understanding of Britain and its early empire.
