AUTHOR
SUMMARY
James Duncan convincingly argues that landscapes are not only culturally produced, but that they also influence governing ideas of political and religious life. Using extensive archival sources, architectural analysis and mapping, the author reveals how the Kandyan landscape was designed to foster a certain hegemonic reading that spoke of the power, benevolence and legitimacy of the kings in their capital.James S. Duncan is the author of 'The City as Text: The Politics of Landscape Interpretation in the Kandyan Kingdom (Cambridge Human Geography)', published 2005 under ISBN 9780521611961 and ISBN 0521611962.
