Robert Sewell was a collector and magistrate in Madras Presidency in colonial India. Like many civil servants turned Indologists of those times, he was a scholar in history. Also, in charge for the then archaeology department. This book is still considered as seminal work on Vijayanagar, this South Indian empire that was left buried in the otherwise overwhelming history of India.
