Description

"Dramatic History of India" is a 1917 work by Flora Annie Steel (1847 - 1929). Steel was an English writer who notably lived in British India for 22 years and is best remembered for her books set or related to the sub-continent. In this volume, Steele offers a detailed history of India based upon its literature and dramatic works, including the Mahabharata and many others. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in Indian history and literature, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Promised Land", "The Mahabharata", "The Parricides", "Great Conqueror", "The Rivals", "The Indian Constantine", "A House Not", "Made With Hands", "The Golden Age", "The Giftings Of The King", "The Idol-Breaker", "The Resistance Of The Rajputs", etc. Other notable works by this author include: "Tales of the Punjab" (1894), "The Flower of Forgiveness" (1894), and "The Potter's Thumb" (1894). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
