Emerging from the Chrysalis: Rituals of Women's Initiation
ISBN: 9780195069105 / Angielski / Miękka / 163 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Providing a unique and intimate view of Hindu marriage, the essays in this collection explore points at which the margins of marriage are traversed or transgressed. Rather than focus on normative expectations within marriage, they examine times in which norms are tested or rejected. Using stories, songs, and narrated accounts, the essays treat such topics as widowhood, adultery, levirate, divorce, and suttee, as well as the subversion of marriage by devotion to deities and by alternative constructions of conjugal duty and marital experience.
