We have long been used to the idea of a number of 'renaissance' in Western culture history, besides 'the' Renaissance centred in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. We are also accustomed, though not without controversy, to the notion of a 'Bengal Renaissance' in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with corresponding movements in other parts of India, adding up to a putative 'Indian Renaissance'. The essays in this volume explore the possible resemblances or, more organically, the historical links between the two, with a fiew to building up a general paradigm of a 'renaissance' that might occur in different regions and cultures or in different periods of history.

Abstract
We have long been used to the idea of a number of 'renaissance' in Western culture history, besides 'the' Renaissance centred in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. We are also accustomed, though not without controversy, to the notion of a 'Bengal Renaissance' in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with corresponding movements in other parts of India, adding up to a putative 'Indian Renaissance'. The essays in this volume explore the possible resemblances or, more organically, the historical links between the two, with a fiew to building up a general paradigm of a 'renaissance' that might occur in different regions and cultures or in different periods of history.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
