Speaking of dance :
Mandakranta Bose
Speaking of dance : the Indian critique / by Mandakranta Bose. - New Delhi : D.K. Printworld, 2001. - 144 (16p. of plates ) ill. (chiefly col.) ; 25 cm.
Indian classical dance is a "high art". In ancient India, it was even venerated as a sacted act. Evern since Bharata wrote his seminal Natyasastra, it has been one of the central elements of scholarly discourse, generating a whole host of learned treatises. Mandakranta Bose here takes a close look at this vast Sanskritic textual corpus attempting not only to reconstruct India's two millennia-long dance tradition, but also to dispel the historical and aesthetic misconceptions woven arount it.
