The University of Kent has conferred on Antony Copley the title of Honorary Professor of Modern European and Indian History.<\/p>\n
Antony was appointed to the Faculty of Humanities in January 1967. This was the rewarding time of inter-disciplinary teaching and he was heavily involved in the teaching of Part 1 Topics. Out of Colonialism and the Emergent Nations<\/em> was to come future publications, The Political Career of C Rajagopalachari 1937-54<\/em> (Macmillan 1978) and Gandhi: Against the Tide<\/em> (Blackwell 1987 and OUP 1993). Gandhi was to be a lifetime interest and Antony has been an active member of the Gandhi Foundation UK since the 1980’s. The other topic was Sex, Literature and Morality<\/em>, and that in time led to Sexual Moralities in France 1780-1980 (Routledge 1989) and much later in retirement A Spiritual Bloomsbury<\/em> (Lexington Books 2006).<\/p>\n Another off-shoot of teaching these two topics was the highly ambitious part 11 course, Moral Codes and their Critics<\/em>. Subsequent publications included Religions in Conflict<\/em> (OUP 1997), a study of Evangelical missionaries in 19th century India and several editions on the Hindu Religious Reform Movements, Gurus and their Followers<\/em> (OUP 2000) and Hinduism in Public and Private<\/em> (OUP 2003). He retired as Honorary Reader in 2001, and The School of History appointed him an Honorary Senior Research Fellow. He was to publish two monographs in retirement, A Spiritual Bloomsbury and by way of new departure, a book on music, Music and the Spiritual: Composers and Politics in the 20th Century<\/em> (Ziggurat 2012). Both books were republished by Indian published. He has just completed a personal memoir, Marginalised: A Post-War Adolescence<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The University of Kent has conferred on Antony Copley the title of Honorary Professor of Modern European and Indian History.
