First Sentence

In this chapter the evolution of different perceptions of Bauls is considered from an historical point of view; in particular, the advent of variously inflected, idealised, 'gentry' (bhadralok) images of 'the Baul' from the nineteenth century, which is when the word baul began to emerge in the sources as the name of a class, group, tradition (sampraday) or even sect.
