Indian Epic Poetry: Being the Substance of Lectures with a Full Analysis of the Ramayana Story and of the Story of the Maha-Bharata

""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.
