"The Indian Queen" is a tragic play written by John Dryden, one of the leading playwrights of the English Restoration period. Set in ancient Mexico, it tells the story of Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, and his wife Zempoalla, who are caught in a tumultuous struggle for power and survival amidst the Spanish conquest led by Hernán Cortés. The play explores themes of love, ambition, and betrayal against the backdrop of imperial expansion and cultural clash. Montezuma and Zempoalla's relationship is tested as they navigate the complex political landscape, facing challenges from both within their own court and from the encroaching Spanish invaders. Dryden's play is characterized by its grandeur and spectacle, with lavish scenes depicting the opulence of the Aztec court and the brutality of the Spanish conquest. The clash of civilizations serves as a backdrop for the personal dramas unfolding among the characters, as they grapple with questions of loyalty, honor, and sacrifice.

The first true "heroic" drama in England, this 1664 tragedy in a French baroque ramantic novel set among the Aztecs and Incas. With oversize sentiments, settings and derring-do, it is grand opera in heroic couplets.

A Finalist for the 2018 Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History Four centuries ago, a Muslim woman ruled an empire. When it came to hunting, she was a master shot. As a dress designer, few could compare. An ingenious architect, she innovated the use of marble in her parents’ mausoleum on the banks of the Yamuna River that inspired her stepson’s Taj Mahal. And she was both celebrated and reviled for her political acumen and diplomatic skill, which rivaled those of her female counterparts in Europe and beyond. In 1611, thirty-four-year-old Nur Jahan, daughter of a Persian noble and widow of a subversive official, became the twentieth and most cherished wife of the Emperor Jahangir. While other wives were secluded behind walls, Nur ruled the vast Mughal Empire alongside her husband, and governed in his stead as his health failed and his attentions wandered from matters of state. An astute politician and devoted partner, Nur led troops into battle to free Jahangir when he was imprisoned by one of his own officers. She signed and issued imperial orders, and coins of the realm bore her name. Acclaimed historian Ruby Lal uncovers the rich life and world of Nur Jahan, rescuing this dazzling figure from patriarchal and Orientalist clichés of romance and intrigue, and giving new insight into the lives of women and girls in the Mughal Empire, even where scholars claim there are no sources. Nur’s confident assertion of authority and talent is revelatory. In Empress, she finally receives her due in a deeply researched and evocative biography that awakens us to a fascinating history.

An entirely original account of Victoria's relationship with the Raj, which shows how India was central to the Victorian monarchy from as early as 1837 In this engaging and controversial book, Miles Taylor shows how both Victoria and Albert were spellbound by India, and argues that the Queen was humanely, intelligently, and passionately involved with the country throughout her reign and not just in the last decades. Taylor also reveals the way in which Victoria's influence as empress contributed significantly to India's modernization, both political and economic. This is, in a number of respects, a fresh account of imperial rule in India, suggesting that it was one of Victoria's successes.
