Seller's Description:
Very Good. Hardcover. No dust jacket, as issued. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. viii, 300 p.; 24 cm. "The Exotic covers an extraordinary range of materials as it traces the reception of Sanskrit studies in the West and issues of ideology implied in that reception. It focuses chiefly on nineteenth-century German, French, and English scholarship, literature, and philosophy, but it also addresses twentieth-century associations between Indo-Germanism and National Socialism and contemporary views on ethnocentrism and political correctness."-Rear Board.
