Instead of treating the Poetics and the Natyashastra as Western and Eastern viewpoints, it places them within the broad framework of ancient Indo-European culture and the art of sacred drama (hieropraxis). It demonstrates that hieropraxis was basically different from post-Renaissance European drama which was entirely secular in content and Realistic in presentation. The Poetics and the Natyashastra on the contrary, belonged to theatres which pleased both gods and men, and which used semiotised gesture, dance, music, and dialogue to create a highly ornate theatrical reality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book aims at comparing not only the concepts as propounded by Aristotle and Bharata Muni, but also attempts to reconstruct the Greek and Indian performances to highlight their similarities and differences. In view of the increasing constrains imposed on artistic endeavours by commercial pre-occupations in today’s world, this stimulating revaluation of the two major classical stage-crafts will go a long way in the discerning and shaping of newer modes of performance. Concepts like anukarana, dharmi, abhinaya, itivritta, mimesis, muthos, melopoiia, katharsis and rasa, etc., as revisited and expounded here, can be seen as means of creating dramatic shows which go beyond message and entertainment to provide sublimer experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBHARAT GUPT, Reader (Associate Professor) in English, College of Vocational Studies, University of Delhi, holds two Master’s degrees, one from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi and another from Toronto.

It infused new life into the Indian English novel and elevated its art from the mundane to the magical. The present book, divided into two major sections, is a serious attempt at examining this protean text from different critical perspectives. The first section introduces Salman Rushdie, the novelist, and his work Midnight’s Children, with an exhaustive commentary on the novel by Tapan K Ghose. The second Section, comprising exploratory essays by eminent academics, offers a wide spectrum of views on the novel.
