Subject: [INDOLOGY] Inset plays / Play within a play

 

CAUTION: The Sender of this email is not from within Dalhousie.

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
