Thanks for the kind replies. However "Notes on love …" from 1990 is not the published version of her disertation but a different book. She even mentions in its introduction that she never published her dissertation.
It is good to know about the possibilities on proquest.com but in this case I mereley want to check the context of a citation in an article and would be glad to avoid paying a considerable sum for this.

Vitus,
I do not have a copy Egnor's dissertation, but dissertations from that era in the USA were all put on microfilm, and print copies (or, pdfs) can be ordered from ProQuest

Dear List,
I am looking for the dissertation of M. Trawick Egnor "The Sacred Spell and Other Conceptions of Life in Tamil Culture", University of Chicago, 1978. (http://southasiadissertations.uchicago.edu/content/egnor-margaret-trawick)
Seemingly it was not published afterwards. Does anyone have a PDF of this? I would be very grateful.

Best,
Vitus Angermeier
