Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Contents : Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Myths. 3. Gender. 4. Analysis of the Plays: I. 5. Analysis of the Plays: II. 6. Conclusion. Bibliography. Index. This book is based on the myths in the plays of Girish Karnad. The four major plays Hayavadana, Yayati, Nagamandala and The Fire and the Rain have been analyzed from a gender perspective. It is a pioneering work since it brings to light the fact that contrary to the prevalent belief that women s emancipation movement started in the last two centuries, it establishes that the world of ancient India was both liberal and generous. The women represented in these plays belong to ancient India. They were aware of their identities as independent individuals and were able to take intelligent decisions regarding their destiny with vigor and determination. The book establishes Karnad as a revolutionary author who was able to artistically present the reality of female psyche. It also bridges the distance between ancient and the modern because the emancipated souls of the women presented, radically implant the truth that God created man and woman equal with the same needs, drives and motives. It is really interesting to note how the women in these plays display the multivalent existence in different spheres of human activities. The indepth research on the theories of myth and folklore of India is a substantial contribution to academic insight. The detailed and systematic study of gender history, gender related issues and exposition of current theories will be an important resource to all those engaged in this branch of research. The application of gender theories to the works of Karnad will also prove useful for scholars desirous of pursuing similar studies on different autho1 Written in a refined style and lucid manner this book will ably fulfill the need for applied studies in literature. Such studies are challenging but are also most gratifying because they are fresh and hence, energizing. This original work has also undertaken the daunting task of incorporating the living legends of feminist criticism such as Kate Millet, Helen Cixous, Alice Walker, Elaine Showalter, Luce Irigaray, Judith Butler, along with the trail blazer Simone de Beauvoir.

Les pièces de Karnad sont exceptionnelles car elles incarnent la tradition des mythes, de l'histoire, des légendes et des folklores. La réécriture et la réédition des mythes et des contes folkloriques par Karnad comportent un fort aspect intellectuel, émotionnel et archétypal. Son voyage de Yayati à Wedding Album reflète l'évolution même du théâtre indien après l'indépendance. Ses pièces nous permettent de dire qu'il existe un théâtre véritablement 'indien' qui peut être fidèle à ses traditions tout en répondant aux préoccupations contemporaines de la dramaturgie indienne. Comme ses pièces contiennent certaines images, symboles et métaphores tirées de mythes, d'histoires, de contes et de légendes, elles ont été interprétées comme des modèles archétypaux dans l'explication de la conscience humaine et de la croissance de la civilisation humaine. 236 pp. Französisch.

Karnads Stücke sind herausragend, da sie die Tradition von Mythos, Geschichte, Legende und Folklore verkörpern. Karnads Neu- und Umgestaltung von Mythen und Volksmärchen hat einen starken intellektuellen, emotionalen und archetypischen Aspekt. Seine Reise von Yayati bis zum Hochzeitsalbum ist ein Spiegel der Entwicklung des indischen Theaters nach der Unabhängigkeit. Seine Stücke ermöglichen es uns zu sagen, dass es so etwas wie ein wahrhaft 'indisches' Theater gibt, das seinen Traditionen treu bleiben und gleichzeitig in hohem Maße auf die zeitgenössischen Anliegen des indischen Dramas eingehen kann. Da seine Stücke bestimmte Bilder, Symbole und Metaphern aus Mythen, Geschichten, Volksmärchen und Legenden enthalten, sind sie als archetypische Muster in der Erklärung des menschlichen Bewusstseins und des Wachstums der menschlichen Zivilisation interpretiert worden. 252 pp. Deutsch.

Zijn stukken stellen ons in staat om te zeggen dat er zoiets bestaat als echt 'Indiaas' theater dat trouw kan zijn aan zijn tradities en tegelijkertijd zeer gevoelig is voor de hedendaagse zorgen van het Indiase drama. Omdat zijn toneelstukken bepaalde beelden, symbolen en metaforen uit mythen, geschiedenissen, volksverhalen en legenden bevatten, zijn ze geïnterpreteerd als archetypische patronen in de uitleg van het menselijk bewustzijn en de groei van de menselijke beschaving. 240 pp. Niederländisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Girish Karnad (b.1938) is one of the foremost playwrights in India who writes in Kannada and yet has moved away from the regionalist tradition to make fresh raids on the inarticulate. His first play Yayati (1961) re-interprets an ancient Hindu myth on the theme of responsibility and emerges almost like a self-consciously existentialist dream. Regarding this play, Karnad frankly confessed in an interview that he wanted to tell people 'I had read Sartre, Camus and others'. Karnad's second play Tughlaq (1964) explores the Paradox of the idealistic Sultan Muhammad Tughlaq whose reign is considered to be one of the spectacular regimes of history. In connection with this play, Karnad has revealed in course of the same interview 'he read a work of Kannada criticism which proved that many historical plays written earlier were costume plays and that no one attempted to relate a historical episode to modern sensibility like Shaw. This inspired me to write such a play in Kannada'. His third play Hayavadana (1970) presents the theme of human beings aspiring for the unattainable in the Brechtian pattern. And in his fourth play Naga-Mandala, Karnad weaves two Kannada folk tales together. 228 pp. Englisch.

Karnad's plays are outstanding as they embody the tradition of myth, history, legend, and folklores. Karnad's rewriting and remaking of myths and folktales bear some strong intellectual, emotional, and archetypal angle. His journey from Yayati to Wedding Album holds a mirror to the very evolution of Indian theatre after Independence. His plays enable us to say that there is such a thing as truly Indian' theatre which can be true to its traditions and at the same time highly responsive to the contemporary concerns of Indian drama. Since his plays contain certain images, symbols and metaphors from myths, histories, folktales and legends, they have been interpreted as archetypal patterns in the explication of human consciousness and the growth of human civilization. 236 pp. Englisch.
