First staged in 1892, the South Indian play Girls for Sale
(Kanyasulkam) is considered the greatest modern work of Telugu
literature and the first major drama written in an Indian language
that critiqued British colonialism's effects on Indian society.
Filled with humor, biting social commentary, parody, and
masquerade, the plot revolves around a clever courtesan, a young
widow, and a very old man who wants to buy as his wife a very young
girl. Velcheru Narayana Rao has prepared the first idiomatic
English translation, with notes and a critical essay. Itself a
masterpiece of Indian literature in translation, this edition makes
Apparao's work available to new audiences.
