Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first to present current scholarship on gender and in regional and sectarian versions of the Ramayäa. Through the analysis of the representation and treatment of female characters, narrative inventions, structural design, textual variants, and the idiom of composition and technique in art and sculpture are revealed and it is shown what and in which way these alternative versions are unique.
