About the Book
This volume presents essays originally delivered at an international conference, offering a modern scholarly response to the ancient epic Ramayana. Approaching the text from multiple angles—including textual criticism, art, architecture, and film—the essays explore its aesthetic and ideological significance. Topics addressed include the seminal role of Valmiki, questions of canonicity, the study of derivative Ramayanas, gender representation, and the cultural ideals surrounding love and marriage. Through rigorous textual and historical analysis, each essay uncovers layers of meaning within the epic, situating it critically within the social and cultural contexts of South and Southeast Asia. Essential for scholars, students, and readers interested in epic literature, religion, and cultural studies.
