This study centers upon the abolitionists, Quakers, free-traders, disenchanted colonial agents, and Parsi intellectuals who participated in the British India Society, India Reform Society, and East India Association. Beginning in the 1830s, these agitators increasingly recognized that British dominion in India was exploitative and destabilizing; moreover, it had given rise to a series of prejudicial anomalies. Reformers therefore denounced the 'virtual' enslavement, infrastructural decay, violations of the law of nations, and economic impoverishment that had occurred under colonial rule, as well as the metropole's inattention to Indian affairs. By reconstructing the transregional networks that extended from Boston to Bengal and sustained these organizations, Zak Leonard analyzes India reformism from ideological and structural perspectives. In so doing, he historicizes the practice of anti-colonial critique and offers new insight into the frustrated development of a British imperial public consciousness.

Prolongement de l’exposition présentée à l’Hôtel de la Marine, l’ouvrage rend hommage à l’exceptionnelle inventivité, au talent et au savoir-faire dont témoigne l’art de la Renaissance ; il s’intéresse également à la fascination que cet art continue d’exercer depuis des siècles sur les collectionneurs. Chefs-d'œuvre du Victoria and Albert Museum à Londres et de la Collection Al Thani sont associés pour donner à voir plus de 130 œuvres et objets d’art décoratif – sculptures, pièces d’orfèvrerie, bijoux, céramiques, verres, textiles, livres, manuscrits, peintures, œuvres graphiques et curiosités. Se côtoieront ainsi des œuvres de L’Antico, Lucas Cranach le Jeune, François Clouet, Carlo Crivelli, Donatello, Nicholas Hilliard, Hans Holbein le Jeune, et Léonard de Vinci, ainsi que des objets d’art commandés aux artistes les plus accomplis de l’époque par des mécènes issus des familles royales ou de la haute aristocratie. S’ouvrant sur l’histoire des deux institutions ici en conversation – l’une née au XIXe siècle, le Victoria and Albert Museum, l’autre au début du XXIe siècle, la Collection Al Thani –, le livre s’articule en dix chapitres thématiques, chacun donnant lieu à l’analyse de pièces remarquables. Il présente un corpus inédit d’œuvres dont certaines n’ont jamais été dévoilées au public. Tel est le cas d’une cinquantaine d’œuvres de la Collection Al Thani montrées pour la première fois.
