Essays on Aesthetics Today, The Quest for Key Aesthetic Concepts and The Aesthetic Attitude relate explicitly to present-day aesthetics and the one on Rasa Theory may well be able to provide some new insights to those who are not averse to looking anew at this impressive foray of traditional Indian thinkers into the region of aesthetics. However, the essay which is most likely to draw and hold readers' attention because of the tantalizing appearance, so to say, of its very subject is the one on Music and Silence.

Very few aestheticians have written on it so far and nowhere, except in this book, is the reference all along to Hindustani music. Nor has our rhythm ever been written on in the way it appears in this book, in terms of the following essays: Hindustani Rhythm and Aesthetic Theory and Hindustani Rhythm and an Aesthetical Issue.

As for the essay on Attenborough's classic film Gandhi, it may well make readers realize, in happy wonderment, how much they failed to mark when they saw it. Indeed, there is no reason why analytic writing on art should not make us ever more sensitive to the numberless creative devices it employs with delightful effect.

Barlingay examines the development of the rasa theory by various authorities on art and aesthetics and finally presents his own critical understanding of it The volume begins with a survey of the history of Indian art by examining painstakingly the relation between art and beauty, perception of time and space in art, and classification of arts. It then plunges into a detailed study of origin and development of rasa theory: from rasa in the Vedas and Upanishads to Bharata's rasa theory and perspectives of Abhinavagupta, Bhattatauta, Bhatta Lollata, Kuntaka, Dandin, Mammata, Vamana, Rudrata, Vishvanatha, Bhamaha, Jagannatha and others who enriched it further with their own theories.

It explains how principles were employed and re-employed by the masters to reveal various meanings, inter-relationships, symbols, and perceptions of art. It highlights the salient features of each master's unique manner of interpretation of art concepts.

The work is a must for scholars and students keen to study the fundamentals of concept and theory of Indian art, particularly with reference to drama and poetics. * (less)

Meanwhile, deep in the forest, a baby is born. A racy, pulse-quickening novel, this story is crammed with fascinating history, remarkable women, and passionate men--famous and infamous.

"The Innocent" marks the debut of a sexy, striking trilogy. The year is 1450, a dangerous time in medieval Britain.

Civil unrest is at its peak and the legitimacy of the royal family is suspect. Meanwhile, deep in the forests of western England, a baby is born.

Powerful forces plot to kill both mother and child, but somehow the newborn girl survives. Her name is Anne.

Fifteen years later, England emerges into a fragile but hopeful new age, with the charismatic young King Edward IV on the throne. Anne, now a young peasant girl, joins the household of a wealthy London merchant.

Her unusual beauty provokes jealousy, lust, and intrigue, but Anne has a special quality that saves her: a vast knowledge of healing herbs. News of her extraordinary gift spreads, and she is called upon to save the ailing queen.

Soon after, Anne is moved into the palace, where she finds her destiny with the man who will become the greatest love of her life -- the king himself. Posie Graeme Evans has contributed to The Innocent as an author.

Posie Graeme-Evans has worked in the Australian film and television industry for the last thirty years as an editor, director, and producer on hundreds of primetime television programs, including "McLeod's Daughters" and "Hi-5." She lives in Tasmania with her husband and creative partner, Andrew Blaxland.
