[INDOLOGY] Inset plays / Play within a play

[Tieken, H.J.H. (Herman)]

Dear Rembert and Madhav,
The garbhāṅka in Kālidāsa's Mālavikāgnimitra is not a "play" in the strict sense of the word. It's character has been discussed by me most recently in Acta Asiatica Varsoviensia 36 (2023, appeared 2024), pp. 287-289 (https://doi.org/10.60018/AcAsVa.jreu4722).

Dear Rembert,

     Kālidāsa's Mālavikāgnimitra also has a play within the play.

Dear colleagues,

I am looking for any scholarly literature on the use of inset plays
(i.e. dramas performed by the characters within a play) in Sanskrit
drama.

I am aware of only two such studies: David Shulman's "Embracing the
subject: Harṣa's play within a play" in Journal of Indian philosophy
25 (1997), and Gerald Carney's "Entering the dynamics of Vaiṣṇava
devotion: the inset play in act III of Kavikarṇapūra's
Caitanyacandrodaya" in Journal of Vaisnava Studies 5.1 (1996-1997).

I would be very grateful for any additional studies you could point me to.

Thank you.

Best wishes,
Rembert
