Reviews

I approached this study with high expectations and am glad to say that my anticipations were not disappointed... The main corpus of texts makes this book eminently useful not only for academics but also for dancers and singers, for whom such wonderful material is not easily available. A glossary, useful notes, a bibliography and a decent index complete this fine book. Nilima Devi, Centre for Indian Classical Dance, Leicester; South Asia Research Vol. 28:3 (November 2008)
