Description
This work examines in detail the world of travelogues of a highly interesting culture universe: the Bengali bhadralok. A travelogue is usually a crucial political aesthetic text. Its very fabric is structured in space and power it creates, reltes, compares and contrasts spaces and powers. Bengalis travelling to Europe in the colonial period felt compelled to produce such texts.
