| The volume breaks fresh ground in the field of interdisciplinary studies and will be invaluable to all those who are concerned with the inner life of reflection and outer life of movement and action . The interrelation of the two and the theme of wholeness is the unity underlying the multifaceted articles included in the volume. | |
| KAPILA VATSYAYAN, an internationally acknowledged authority on the Indian arts, has been responsible for establishing several bridges of communication, especially between Indian and Western theories of art, the literary, plastic and performing arts and their theory and practice. Cumulatively, this has resulted in the refreshingly new approach towards concepts of artistic form and Technique. Her first work, Classical Indian Dance in Literature and the Arts, has been acclaimed by scholars the world over. She has also published Dance in Indian Painting, Traditional Indian Theatre and three volumes of the Gita Govinda in Indian art. She is now the Academic Director of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts. |
