| Publisher Description: Professor J. L. Brockington is recognized as one of the world's most eminent scholars in the field of Ramayana studies. This volume collects, with some revisions, the more important articles he has written since 1969 on the Ramayana of Valmiki. These articles focus on linguistic features and style, formulaic expression and proverbs, manuscript studies, religious aspects, and the relationship between the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Together, the articles complement Brockington's now classic work Righteous Rama and significantly advance our understanding of the Sanskrit epics. |
