The Indian theatre: a brief survey of the Sanskrit drama

About the Book

The following pages try to touch the very soul of the old Sanskrit plays. This could not always be done without sacrificing technical details and using the source code. The dramatic plot is often paraphrased and presented in modern clothing to grab the attention of the modern person... Books that are classed as Satire are written to expose the shortcomings of individuals and institutions in society, to hold them up to ridicule, and through humour shame them into undertaking reforms. Examples of this genre include: Satires of circumstances, lyrics and reveries with miscellaneous pieces, and The Modern Traveller.
