""Indian Epic Poetry"" is a book by Monier Williams that provides a comprehensive analysis of two of the most significant epic poems in Indian literature: the Ramayana and the Maha-Bharata. The book is based on a series of lectures given by Williams, and it delves into the cultural and historical contexts of these two works. The Ramayana is a story of the prince Rama and his quest to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana, while the Maha-Bharata tells the story of a dynastic struggle for power and the ultimate battle between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Williams provides a detailed analysis of the plot, themes, characters, and literary techniques used in these epics, as well as their significance in Indian culture and religion. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in Indian literature, mythology, or history.Lectures Delivered At Oxford.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
