Abstract of the Lecture: EPIC MAHABHARATA ... The late Bronze Age Sanskrit poem about clan contention and kinship struggle in North-West India ... The Art of Reading ... how should we read such an ancient work: what concepts and what methods should we engage? Poetry is a far more archaic form of communication than prose and the cognition required to read poetry differs profoundly from how it is that we read prose.
