The essay focuses on the earliest British travel narratives to Tibet and on colonial culture's reception of Tibetan Buddhism. It addresses the related discourses of commerce and religion to show how the interplay between free-market ideology and Buddhist culture enlarged the boundaries of the British imagined community, while complicating the Romantic construction of Hinduism.

Abstract

The essay focuses on the earliest British travel narratives to Tibet and on colonial culture's reception of Tibetan Buddhism. It addresses the related discourses of commerce and religion to show how the interplay between free-market ideology and Buddhist culture enlarged the boundaries of the British imagined community, while complicating the Romantic construction of Hinduism.
