Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Jain Ramayana Narratives: Moral Vision and Literary Innovation 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. Inmakingthis argument, the bookexamines three versions of the Rama storycomposed by twoauthors, separated in time and space by over 800 years and thousands of miles. The first is Ravisena, who composed the Sanskrit Padmapurana ('The Deeds of Padma'), and the second is Brahma Jinadasa, author of both a Sanskrit Padmapurana and a vernacular (bhasa) version of the story titled Ram Ras ('The Story of Ram'). While the threecompositions narrate the same basicstory and work to shape ethical subjects, they do so in different ways and with different visions of what a moral person actually is. A close comparative reading focused on the differences between these three texts reveals the diverse visions of moral personhood held by Jains in premodernity and demonstrates the innovative narrative strategies authors utilized in order to actualize those visions.The book is thus a valuable contribution to the fields of Jain studies and religion and literature in premodern South Asia. 182 pp. Englisch.
