Publisher's Synopsis
In the early 19th century, Daniel Wilson was one of the most important figures in the Anglican Church's efforts to spread Christianity in India. This book tells the story of his life, from his early years in England to his time as bishop of Calcutta, where he worked tirelessly to promote education, build schools and churches, and improve the lives of the Indian people. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including Wilson's own letters and diaries, this biography provides a fascinating look at a key figure in the history of British colonialism in India.
