Glossary; Index 330 $a"The Ra?ma?yana, an Indian epic, is one of the world's best-loved stories. Made available in English for the first time, this version by a female poet from Bengal is very direct, touching, timely, and accessible. The three-part poem is a highly individual rendition of the ancient epic, and instead of celebrating masculine heroism it laments the suffering of women caught in the play of male ego. This book presents a translation and commentary on the text, and provides readers with an alternative view of the tale. It expands the understanding both of the history of women's self-expression in India and the cultural potency of the epic tale. The book is of interest to students and researchers of South Asian studies, Ra?ma?yana studies and women's and gender studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledgeCurzon Hindu studies series. 606 $aWomen in Hinduism$zIndia$zBengal$xHistory$y16th century 615 0$aWomen in Hinduism$xHistory 676 $a294.5/92204521 686 $aREL032000$2bisacsh 700 $aCandra?vati?$factive 16th century.,$01663466 701 $aVa?lmi?ki$0636731 701 $aBose$b Mandakranta$f1938-$0848195 701 $aBose$b Sarika Priyadarshini$01663467 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811104703321 996 $aA woman's Ra?ma?yana$94020807 997 $aUNINA
