Description
Key Features
The King and the Clown examines tragi-comic aspects of Chola kingship in relation to Sanskrit drama and South Indian cultural traditions.
Traces symbolic representations of royal authority through Vidiisaka characters, Tenali Rama folk tales, and shadow-puppet theatre traditions across South India.
Explores broader symbolic figures including Brahmins, courtesans, bandits, and warrior-heroes alongside the central king and clown archetypes.
Originally published in 1986, this Princeton University Press title is reproduced using modern print-on-demand technology for scholarly accessibility.
Offers comprehensive analysis of Indian mythology and folklore relevant to academic study of South Indian classical and folk performance traditions.
