{"product_id":"9780199450664","title":"After Timur Left : Culture and Circulation in Fifteenth-Century North India","description":"\u003cp\u003eTimur invaded northern India in 1398 but returned to Samarkand a year later. In 1555 the Timurid emperor Humayun came back to India after being forced into exile in Persia and re-established Mughal rule in northern India. Between these two significant dates stretches an era largely consigned to oblivion-the 'long' fifteenth century.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eThe Mughal dynasty has long occupied a pre-eminent position in research on Indian history. It has also been credited with ushering in a radically new age of innovation in art, literature, and statecraft. But what of the period before the Mughals?\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eWith the empire-centred study of history privileging periods of political centralization, the multi-centred fifteenth century has remained relatively unexplored and undervalued.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eAfter Timur Left presents a path-breaking interdisciplinary set of writings on the politics, languages, religions, literatures, and arts of the fifteenth century. Together they reveal it to be a period of considerable political and social mobility, of cultural connectivity and consolidation, of innovation in literature and language choices, and of new forms of religious organization and expression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49543600636131,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780199450664-1.jpg?v=1788511938","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9780199450664","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
