Author Information

This volume comes about from conversations first held between ex-students of Professor Kirti N. Chaudhuri during the autumn of 2008. Sadly, one of the spiriti movens of this project, James Kaye, was tragically killed in a boating accident in February 2011. Many of the contributors to this volume, now in academic posts across Europe, were trained under K. N. Chaudhuri's wing at the European University Institute in Fiesole, Italy, where Chaudhuri held the prestigious Vasco da Gama Chair until his retirement in 2000. Other contributors met and were influenced by Chaudhuri's work during his long career of service to the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, England. This volume is a tribute to Chaudhuri's enduring intellectual legacy over the fields of Imperial History and Asian Studies, and a gesture of thanks to the brilliant conversation and personal warmth he repeatedly shared us with.Stefan C. A. Halikowski Smith is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of History at Swansea University, Wales.
