Made available in English for the first time, this version by a female poet from Bengal is very direct, touching, timely, and accessible. The three-part poem is a highly individual rendition of the ancient epic, and instead of celebrating masculine heroism it laments the suffering of women caught in the play of male ego. This book presents a translation and commentary on the text, and provides readers with an alternative view of the tale. It expands the understanding both of the history of women's self-expression in India and the cultural potency of the epic tale. The book is of interest to students and researchers of South Asian studies, Rāmāyana studies and women's and gender studies"--Provided by publisher.RoutledgeCurzon Hindu studies series.Women in HinduismIndiaBengalHistory16th centuryWomen in HinduismHistory294.5/92204521REL032000bisacshCandrāvatīactive 16th century.,1572313Vālmīki636731Bose Mandakranta1938-848195Bose Sarika Priyadarshini1572314FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910779705503321A woman's Rāmāyana3847141UNINA
