DESCRIPTION |
|
| This scholarly treatise deals at length with aspects of dramatic performance like nature, kinds and members of dramatic troupes, abhinaya, the stage and auditorium, incorporating a number of visuals to depict the dramatic seanes etched by artists on pillars, temple walls, caves and objects. It classified the different kinds andf levels of performers: actors like Sailusa, Sailain, Mankh Kusilava, Nata and Bharata, and actresses like professional actresses, courtesan actresses, divine actresses and so on. It refers to Natyasastra and other noted works on dramaturgy an their authors, and gives examples and illustrations from the famous epics, Buddhist and Jain Literature and other works like the Arthasastra to throw light on values associated with drama and its actual performance in ancient times. The book, presenting well-researched facts and giving an insightful analysis, will prove useful to researchers and teachers of classical Indian art. |
