Summary, etc. From the early years of the common era to 1700, Indian intellectuals explored with unparalleled subtlety the place of emotion in art. Their investigations led to the de construction of art's formal structures and broader inquiries into the pleasure of tragic tales. Rasa, or taste, was the word they chose to describe art's aesthetics, and their passionate effort to pin down these phenomena became its own remarkable Act of creation. This book is the first in any language to follow the evolution of Rasa from its origins in dramaturgical thought—a concept for the stage—to its flourishing in literary thought—concept for the page. A Rasa reader incorporates primary texts by every significant thinker on classical Indian aesthetics, many never translated before. The arrangement of the selections captures the intellectual dynamism that has powered this debate for centuries. Headnotes explain the meaning and significance of each text, a comprehensive introduction summarises major threads in intellectual-historical terms, and critical br>Endnotes and an extensive bibliography add further depth to the selections. The Sanskrit theory of emotion in art is one of the most sophisticated in the ancient world. A Rasa reader's conceptual detail, historical precision, and clarity will appeal to any scholar interested in a full portrait of global intellectual development.
