 Speaking of dance, the indian critique.
Author: Bose, Mandakranta Published: 2001 Indian classical dance is a 'high art', and has long been one of the central elements of Indian scholarly discourse, generating a whole host of learned treatises. Mandakranta Bose here takes a close look at this vast Sanskritic textual corpus, attempting not only to reconstruct India's two-millenia long dance tradition, but also to dispel the historical and aesthetic misconceptions woven around it. [Intending purchasers should note that, as with many Indian productions, the physical condition of the book is of a rather lower standard than would be normally acceptable in Europe, more resembling a good second-hand copy than a new book.] |
