Reviews

'Ghosh's book will be immensely valuable to scholars of gender, race, and empire ...' Journal of Asian Studies '... Sex and the Family makes an important contribution to the investigation of racial and gender relations in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century India by reminding us of the anxiety Englishmen felt and by recovering some of the Indian women's voices.' Eighteenth-Century Studies
