Hardback. New. <b>Presents a new history of how Hindustani court music responded to the political transitions of the nineteenth century.</b><br /> <br /> How far did colonialism transform north Indian music In the period between the Mughal empire and the British Raj how did the political landscape bleed into aesthetics music dance and poetry Examining musical culture through a diverse and multilingual archive primarily using sources in Urdu Bengali and Hindi that have not been translated or critically examined before <i>The Scattered Court</i> challenges our assumptions about the period. Richard David Williams presents a long history of interactions between northern India and Bengal with a core focus on the two courts of Wajid Ali Shah 1822–1887 the last ruler of the kingdom of Awadh. He charts the movement of musicians and dancers between the two courts in Lucknow and Matiyaburj as well as the transregional circulation of intellectual traditions and musical genres and demonstrates the importance of the exile period for the rise of Calcutta as a celebrated center of Hindustani classical music. Since Lucknow is associated with late Mughal or Nawabi society and Calcutta with colonial modernity examining the relationship between the two cities sheds light on forms of continuity and transition over the nineteenth century as artists and their patrons navigated political ruptures and social transformations. <i>The Scattered Court</i> challenges the existing historiography of Hindustani music and Indian culture under colonialism by arguing that our focus on Anglophone sources and modernizing impulses has directed us away from the aesthetic subtleties historical continuities and emotional dimensions of nineteenth-century music. hardcover

Cornell University Grenoble London Paris Italy. Good with no dust jacket. 1924. Hardcover. On offer is a terrific journal covering the travel and studies abroad of an American college student who would go on to graduate from Cornell University open up a dairy farm and die before his 40th birthday. The journal belonged to Richard Everard Williams 1902-1937 of New York. Williams was born to Captain Edward Peet Williams 1839-1910 and Laura Carroll Dennis Williams 1862-1938. His mother was an accomplished musician who had studied and worked in London in her younger years and went on to be active in the Liberal party in Washington. His father served two years in the Civil War as a Captain and married Laura following the death of his first wife Abby Townley. William graduated from Cornell University Class of 1927 with a BS in Agriculture. He then purchased a large farm in New York and began a dairy farm. In 1927 just before graduation he married Carolyn May Brooks 1903-1983. They had a son David Brooks Williams in 1932-1988. Williams journal covers a three month period in 1924 during which he crossed the Atlantic to France on the SS Voendam. In France he attended university and then visited Switzerland and Italy before returning to the United States. He was accompanied by his mother and Aunt Ann Dennis Bursch 1870-1932. This trip is not the first time had been to Europe as he mentions a visit in 1914 Aug 12. Williams is an excellent poetic writer engaging without meaning to be: In the evening Adelaide Hooker and I slipped under the rope bearing a No Admission sign and tiptoed out onto the bow where we sat for nearly an hour. Every few moments the ship would run into schools of fish which would dart away gleaming with phosphorescence as they swam. The spray which broke from the bow likewise had a phosphorescent glow. Later just before I got into my birth an orb having all the appearance of a yellow harvest moon rose up out of the sea and cast its golden light across the gently tossing waters June 20. Williams stopped in London Paris and Lyon before reaching his initial destination Grenoble where he enrolled in the University as a student likely the Gernoble Alpes University on July 1st. He discusses the lectures he attends and the professors M. Morillot M. Chevallier M. Bergson M. Galland and M. Mengin. When not in classes Williams and his family visit neighbouring communities and he discusses his experiences both as a student and tourist naming his fellow students parties he attends and places he visits with and without his family: About 8: 20 this morning I started out with my lunch for a snowfield just east of Peyron dAmout or dAmour a rocky peak of which the rounded head rises a little northeast of La Meije. My way led up thru lovely alpine meadows and across Chalvachere a roaring torrent fed my the melting snows of the Glacier de la Meiji. Heated by climbing it was most refreshing to stand on the bridge above it fanned by the cooling breath of air which rose from its icy waters. Far above towered the beautiful and majestic Meiji July 6. We left Avignon in 3 auto buses about 8: 30. Our route led through a region which prof Metzger said was typical of the Midi gently rolling country with rather sparse vegetation suggestive of a hot climate sprinkled here and there with olive groves almond groves and vineyards. . The sky was a light blue with white clouds here and there and altho the sun was intensely brilliant the mistral was blowing sufficiently to make me very glad to wear an overcoat while motoring July 27. .At Fontainbleau we lunched ta the Restaurant de lAiglon. Afterward we visited the Chateau which looks like a barracks from the outside but contains much that is stunning. Mention must also be made of the gardens which are refreshing in being much simpler than those of Versailles and of the famous and crowded carp pond Sep 14. This is not your typical travel diary. It is fascinating to read about the experience of an exchange student with significant resources and accompanied by family as he is able to see and do so much more than the average 22-year-old. For a geographer or travel buff this journal paints a wonderful first-hand view of glimpses of life across Europe in that seemingly golden time following the devastating World War 2. For a genealogist this journal demonstrates neat connections between Americans and Europeans. This journal covers June 14 the first day of sailing and concludes on September 28th when Williams docks in New York. It measures 10x6.5 inches and contains 188 pages. It is about 70% complete. The hardboard covers and the binding are in good condition as are the pages. The spine is securely taped and is in good condition. There is some slight staining on the covers due to age.
