About the Book:
This scholarly work by Kapila Vatsyayan offers a profound examination of the Natya Shastra, one of the oldest and most comprehensive treatises on the performing arts, composed in Sanskrit over two millennia ago. The original text spans 36 chapters and 6000 poetic verses, encompassing nearly all aspects of performance, from drama and dance to music and aesthetics.
In this edition, Dr. Vatsyayan provides in-depth analysis and critical insights, addressing questions of authorship, dating, textual orality, and structure. She situates the Natya Shastra within the broader framework of Indian textual tradition, exploring its worldview, cultural significance, and enduring relevance in understanding performance and artistic expression.
“A seminal study that bridges ancient Indian textual tradition with modern critical inquiry, revealing the depth and universality of the Natya Shastra.”
