Thornton was a poet, an intrepid traveler, a\nbiographer, an essayist, an imperial mandarin, and a dutiful family man. Thornton\njoined the East India Company in the mid-1830s, rising to become Secretary of\nthe India Office’s Department of Public Works. This\nstudy uses Thornton’s letters and other recently-discovered primary material to\nprovide a fascinating account that returns his compelling life to the center of\nnineteenth-century British intellectual thought.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137590862\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-58773-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 296\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44753346494604,"sku":"9781137590862","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137590862.jpg?v=1775963491","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137590862","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
