Globalization, Nationalism and the Text of ‘Kichaka-Vadha’: The First English Translation of the Marathi Anticolonial Classic, with a Historical Analysis of Theatre in British India

In addition to providing the first English translation of the anticolonial Marathi classic ‘Kichaka-Vadha’, this volume is the only edition of the play, in any language, to provide an extensive historical-critical analysis which draws on a comprehensive range of archival documents. It is also the first study to locate this landmark text within such an expansive theatre-historical and political landscape. ‘Globalization, Nationalism and the Text of Kichaka Vadha ’ illuminates the complex policies and mechanisms of theatrical censorship in the British Raj, and offers many rare production photographs.
