Title ProperUrdu-Language Khushtar Ramayan
Other Title Informationverbal- and visual-narrative repertoires and ‘sense of place’
LanguageENG
AuthorPhillips, Robert
Summary / Abstract (Note)This essay explores the rich verbal- and visual-narrative repertoires constitutive of a ‘sense of place’ within the Urdu-language Khushtar Ramayan, highlighting some of the significant ways in which they converge with and diverge from other prominent textual and visual representations of the Ramayan during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The material history of Khushtar's work as a book is also traced in order to illuminate a number of important linkages and shifts from a ‘local’ courtly economy and ‘sense of place’ to an emergent, proto-national, print-commercial one.
