Reviews for German Visions of India, 1871-1918: Commandeering the Holy Ganges during the Kaiserreich
“Myers’s work adds to a large body of studies that explore the Western construction of India, with no shortage among them examining ‘Germany’s India.’ … This book is highly recommended for advanced students and working scholars with a deep interest in German Indology and Germanic cross-cultural studies.” (Herman Tull, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 41 (3), September, 2015)
