The Correspondence of Charles Darwin: Volume 6, 1856-1857
Author: Charles Darwin
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521255868
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 728
Book Description
"For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's are made available, edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. Letter-writing was of crucial importance to Darwin's work, not only because his poor health isolated him from direct personal communication with his scientific colleagues but also because the nature of his investigations required communication with naturalists in many fields and in all quarters of the globe. Thus the letters are a mine of information about the work in progress of a creative genius who produced an intellectual revolution." --

Western Texts on Indian Dance
Author: Donovan Roebert
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000609669
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 470
Book Description
This unique work is an annotated collection and collation of Western writing on Indian dance from the period of Marco Polo’s travels to India to the formulation of the anti-devadasi bill in 1930, and a little beyond. The book reproduces more than 250 extracts from important texts, which provide examples of how dance in India was perceived as an art, as well its position in the broader cultural, religious, social, and ethical environment. Though some excerpts from these texts are cited in other writings on Indian dance history, there is no other available work that reproduces such a large number of historical writings on Indian dance and places them in a fluid historical context.
