They variously fed on regional patterns of communication, configurations of power, patronage, and a new economic regime. Their development formed part of tremendous transformations in the structures of power, statecraft, authority, and communication that the subcontinent was going through while being gradually absorbed into the globalizing orbit of the emerging British Empire. The period witnessed a general shift of knowledge-production sites and relocation of distribution and text-circulation networks towards new urban centres'. This book tries to understand how the emerging regional cultures of print created conditions for, inspired, and accommodated differently configured projects of bringing out printed editions of Vedic texts while leaving distinct traces of their respective nature on their editorial principles, book format, typographic form, and publishing ideology. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 02, 2021). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 630 00 Vedas|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80009843 |xPublication and distribution.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00006887 630 7 Vedas.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1356289 630 07 Vedas.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1356289 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 1800-1899|2fast 650 0 Publishers and publishing|zIndia|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010109113|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 7 Publishers and publishing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1083463 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM|xBooks & Reading.|2bisacsh 651 7 India.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210276 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2321937|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
