Sri Aurobindo's Plays: A Thematic Study

by Sheo Shankar Jaiswal

From the blurb:

There is manifestly a great need to bring to light Sri Aurobindo's dramatic creations. The present study purports to be a fulfilment, though to a limited extent, of this need. It brings out the basic thoughts enshrined in Sri Aurobindo's plays and attempts to make whatever additions are possible to the exsisting interpretations of their major themes.

Besides, it seeks to underline the fact that the plays form part of the same bulk of Sri Aurobindo's philosophical and literary creations which is characterised by a remarkable unity of vision, idea and purpose.
