Much Maligned Monsters - Mitter, Partha (, Emeritus Professor of Art History, University of Sussex, England)

A revised and updated edition of a classic work originally published by the Clarendon Press in 1977, in this fascinating study Partha Mitter traces the history of European reactions to Indian art, from the earliest encounters of explorers with the exotic East to the more sophisticated but still incomplete appreciations of the early twentieth century.
