The book grapples with three major concepts in the humanities—the literary, the philosophical/theological and the historical. It looks at Homer’s reception by Plato; Virgil’s reception by Christianity; the many responses that
has received over centuries and across cultures in India; and the reception of Kumaravyasa’s
, among other works, and analyses the understanding of truth, time and history that influence the reading of these works in different times and cultural contexts.
Part of the Critical Humanities across Cultures series, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of philosophy, literature, history, comparative literature, cultural studies and post-colonial studies.
