This unique work is an annotated collection and collation of
Western writing on Indian dance from the period of Marco Polo's
travels to India to the formulation of the anti-devadasi bill in
1930, and a little beyond. The book reproduces more than 250
extracts from important texts, which provide examples of how dance
in India was perceived as an art, as well its position in the
broader cultural, religious, social, and ethical environment.
Though some excerpts from these texts are cited in other writings
on Indian dance history, there is no other available work that
reproduces such a large number of historical writings on Indian
dance and places them in a fluid historical context.
