CLINES, GREGORY M.

Jain Ramayana Narratives. Moral Vision and Literary Innovation.

Oxford. Routledge. 2022. Stock ID #216517

Map, black and white photographic illustrations, xii + 168pp, appendix, index. Hardback, as new.

This book traces how and why Jain authors at different points in history rewrote the story of Rama and situates these texts within larger frameworks of South Asian religious history and literature.

The book argues that the plot, characters, and the very history of Jain Rama composition itself served as a continual font of inspiration for authors to create and express novel visions of moral personhood. (Publisher's description)
