Review:
... rich, nuanced, and persuasive depiction of a fluid, changing Andhra world. (American Historical Review)
From her far-reaching exploration of the Kakatiya material, Talbot offers an important critique of existing scholarship in medieval Indian history and suggests promising directions for reenvisioning this history. (American Historical Review)
Talbot's medieval India is dynamic with expanding commerce, increasing numbers of religious institutions and several evolving political systems ... What she reveals bears excellent comparison with Richard Eaton's Rise of Islam and the Bengal Frontier ... Quite remarkably for a first monograph, it is a real page-turner. Epigraphical research, requiring no little skill, has been combined with a flair for exposition and constant attention to arguments, great and small, in the field, to produce a gripping work of scholarship ... It is an excellent candidate to help build that much-needed bridge between the "early modern histories" of Europe and South India. (Francis Robinson, Times Literary Supplement)
