Pious Flames: European Encounters with Sati 1500-1830

The volume interprets the influential early nineteenth-century debate on Sati by placing it in the context of a varied tradition of heterogeneous and ambivalent western responses to the rite. By tracing the shifting interpretations of this custom found in European accounts, it demonstrates how changing representations of Indian society and culture were interwoven with socio-ideological trends and concerns in the observer's own society.
