Author

Subjects
Mahabharata -- Analysis, Antiheroes -- Portrayals, Indian literature -- Analysis, Ethnic, cultural, racial issues/studies
Abstract

The character of the epic 'anti-hero' Duryodhana is examined across a variety of theatrical and other representations with the aim of showing that, in him, resides also the remnants of an older 'heroism' devoted to this-worldly dharmic values and hostile to the new bhakti of Krishna.
