The Clay Sanskrit Library: Plays

<p>This set of plays provides an array of Sanskrit drama and satire, with plots that vary from the "strikingly Shakespearian" (as H. H. Wilson described it ) "Little Clay Cart" to a dramatization of and amendment to the "Ramáyana" in "Rama's Last Act." In addition to its scope of genre, the set covers a large period of time (the "Three Satires" by Bhállata, Ksheméndra, and Nila·kan alone were written over a period of nearly a thousand years) and also includes several works traditionally given less modern attention, such as "Málavika and Agni·mitra" by Kali·dasa, in order to provide a multifaceted view of Sankskrit theater. <br/> Included in this set:<br/> "The Lady of the Jewel Necklace" & "The Lady who Shows her Love"<br/> By Harsha.
