Dear colleagues and friends,

In this work, the authors trace, with solid philological methodology, the intellectual history of reflections on the actor by the elite Sanskrit authors who composed the normative texts called śāstra, with particular attention to Sanskrit texts belonging to the dramaturgical tradition of the Nāṭyaśāstra.

I am making this announcement on behalf of the authors as I am fortunate enough to co-edit (with Cinzia Pieruccini) the series in which the volume was published.

Wishing everyone a wonderful summer,

Marco
