The book examines in detail the different mnemonic forms engaged by this verbal activity focusing primarily on the distinction between what is \u003ci\u003eseen\u003c\/i\u003e and what is \u003ci\u003eheard\u003c\/i\u003e, as the poets stage and dramatize the four dimensions of their heroic song within one timely occasion. The subtle poetics of preliteracy and literacy which are compounded in one performance are demonstrated and made distinct in both a literary and a conceptual light. \u003ci\u003eJaya\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to those who work in Sanskrit and Indian Studies, the Classics, Oral Traditions, Comparative Literature, and the traditions of archaic poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin McGrath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674062469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674062467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ilex Project\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Kevin McGrath","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637145026815,"sku":"9780674062467","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e056d0b3-4923-4f71-9311-17e22446eab1.jpg?v=1765114211","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jaya-kevin-mcgrath-9780674062467","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
