Abstract

Abstract:This essay examines the Calcutta-based Mookerjee’s Magazine (1861, 1872–76) as a case to examine shifts in the review function in Indian-edited magazines in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. In the anti-colonial nation-making that swept over much of the Indian subcontinent, book reviews were pressed into the role of producing indigenous histories. The turn to history altered the book review, which morphed from a review of books into a general review—or overview—of an historical moment.
膨胀一个场景:回顾穆克吉杂志的书籍和历史
摘要:本文以加尔各答的《穆克吉杂志》(1861、1872–76)为例,考察了19世纪末印度编辑杂志评论功能的转变。在席卷印度次大陆大部分地区的反殖民国家建设中,书评被要求扮演制作土著历史的角色。转向历史改变了书评,书评从对书籍的评论演变为对历史时刻的总体评论或概述。
