Opis

This set of plays provides an array of Sanskrit drama and satire, with plots that vary from the strikingly Shakespearian (as H. H. Wilson described it ) Little Clay Cart to a dramatization of and amendment to the Ramayana in Rama s Last Act. In addition to its scope of genre, the set covers a large period of time (the Three Satires by Bhallata, Kshemendra, and Nila.kan alone were written over a period of nearly a thousand years) and also includes several works traditionally given less modern attention, such as Malavika and Agni.mitra by Kali.dasa, in order to provide a multifaceted view of Sankskrit theater.
