Reviews

The Zafarnama is one of the most fascinating and unusual of early Sikh texts ... French's fine monograph is the first approach to this particularly interesting text to aim to do proper justice, not just to the immediate setting of its contents, but also to the richness of the broader cultural and literary context in which it was produced.
