Through the concept of ‘Romantic nationalism’, this interdisciplinary global historical study investigates cultural initiatives in modern India that aimed at establishing the nation as a moral community and which preceded or accompanied state-oriented political nationalism. Drawing on a vast array of sources, it discusses important Romantic nationalist traits such as the relationship between language and identity, historicism, artistic revivalism, and hero worship.
