Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information Containing over 110,000 images, World News in Indian Newspapers, 1782–1908, brings together numerous editions of three Anglophone newspapers that were published in India during British rule: The India Gazette (1782–1788 and 1822–1843); The Bengal Hurkaru and Chronicle (1822–1866); and The Bengal Times (1876–1908). These appealed to colonial administrators, businessmen, and merchants, all of whom had a keen interest in regional and international trade. Editors and reporters therefore sought to keep readers abreast of notable political, military, economic, scientific, and social trends, as well as the potential economic impact of these upon commodities, stocks, and other investments. Key events that were covered range from the American Revolution and the Crimean War, to British parliamentary debates on the India Act of 1858. Much coverage was devoted to the industrial and pharmaceutical developments of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Britain, France, India, Ireland, the United States, and China received the most editorial attention, although news from other nations also featured. This collection yields valuable source material for those wishing to explore a range of topics, such as British imperialism, the history of journalism, international relations, as well as the economic and political networks that shaped the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. |
