This book is the first to present current scholarship on gender and
in regional and sectarian versions of the Ramayana. Contributors
explore in what ways the versions relate to other Ramayana texts as
they deal with the female persona and the cultural values implicit
in them. Using a wide variety of approaches, both analytical and
descriptive, the authors discover common ground between narrative
variants even as their diversity is recognized. It offers an
analysis in the shaping of the heterogeneous Rama tradition through
time as it can be viewed from the perspective of narrating women's
lives. Through the analysis of the representation and treatment of
female characters, narrative inventions, structural design, textual
variants, and the idiom of composition and technique in art and
sculpture are revealed and it is shown what and in which way these
alternative versions are unique. A sophisticated exploration of the
Ramayana, this book is of great interest to academics in the fields
of South Asian Studies, Asian Religion, Asian Gender and Cultural
Studies.
