Tantric Revisionings presents stimulating new perspectives on Hindu
and Buddhist religion, particularly their Tantric versions, in
India, Tibet or in modern Western societies. Geoffrey Samuel adopts
an historically and textually informed anthropological approach,
seeking to locate and understand religion in its social and
cultural context. The question of the relation between 'popular'
(folk, domestic, village, 'shamanic') religion and elite (literary,
textual, monastic) religion forms a recurring theme through these
studies. Six chapters have not been previously published; the
previously published studies included are in publications which are
difficult to locate outside major specialist libraries.
