Synopsis of Lucknow: Memories of a City

«Lucknow: Memories of a City» is an urban history essay by Violette Graff, published by Oxford University Press in hardcover (299 pages, in English).

Study of Lucknow as protagonist, not mere backdrop, over 250 years: its role in Mughal politics, the splendor of the nawabs, the Mutiny, its conversion into a colonial city, and its political preeminence after Independence. It also addresses the influence of refugees and migrants and the changing fortunes of the aristocracy and elites.

Aimed at connoisseurs of Indian culture and scholars of South Asian urban history.
