Book Description
William Erskine'S Baber And Humayun Stands As The Earliest Scholarly Acco¬Unt Of The Mughal Rulers In India By A British Author. Erskine Combined A Meticulous And Critical Knowledge Of The Voluminous Persian Source Mate¬Rial With The Philosophical Outlook Of An 'Enlightenment' Historian, Emulating Montesquieu And Voltaire In His Desire To Present Individual Historical Facts As Expressive Of The Constitution And Spirit Of A Whole Society.Erskine'S High Regard For Baber As A Man Was Tempered By His Realisation Of Baber'S True Status Among The Indian Mughals, Recognizing Him To Have Been At Best A Successful Soldier Of Fortune And Leader Of A Band Of Indivi¬Dual Adventurers, Rather Than An 'Em¬Peror' Faced In His Lawful Inheritance By Contumacious Afghan Subjects.
