Eight of the essays(by such leadingscholars as Greg Bailey, John Brockington, James Fitzgerald, LuisGonzalez-Reimann, PHyllis Granoff, Alf Hiltebeitel, AdheeshSathaye, and Sally Sutherland Goldman), concentrate on the epicsand Puranas, and as an ensemble make for essential reading on thegenre of Sanskrit literature to which Goldman, as editor-in-chiefof the Ramayana Translation Project, has devoted the greater partof his career.
