Review
The material put forth by Urban in this volume will be of interest to those interested in the dynamics between religious traditions and the rise of colonialism, along with students of poetry, tantra, Vaishnavism in Bengal and those engaged in Subaltern studies. As a book primarily of translated poetry, the work is solid and informed. The translations are clear, expressive, and sensitive in diction and style. Although endowed with an informative introduction, this volume, is best appreciated when read in the context of its companion, The Economics of Ecstasy.
