A critical examination of the famous South Asian writer Nirad C. Chaudhuri (1897–1999), a notorious Anglophile and defender of empire. Ian Almond analyses Chaudhuri from the perspectives of Islam, the archive, melancholy and empire, exploring the evolution of his thought and the consequences this has for our understanding of 'cosmopolitan' intellectuals.
