Reader Reviews:
"This Wonderful Country" (40/42 people found this helpful)
A book which does full justice to "This Wonderful Country". Keay's India Discovered is a triumph of meticulous scholarship and erudition. Covering the fileds of art and literature, cartography and zoology Keay elegantly captures the spirit of William Jones and those others of the Asiatic Society who are the subject of this book. A book which is as compellingly readable as it is sophisticated and erudite and a must for any reader with a love of India, its cultures and its peoples.
