The Mahabharata patriline: Gender, culture, and the royal hereditary.

With its 328 pages (150,000 words) ‘The Mahabharata Patriline’ is exceptional in its length and in the complexity of its study of an extensive amount of primary sources, the Sanskrit Mahabharata (including the Bhagavad Gita). It bridges a gap in text-critical methodology between the traditional philological approach and more recent trends in gender and literary theory. Its 18 chapters, 15 figures, 2 appendices and extensive glossaries and concordances exceed by far what can be expected from 2 ‘normal’ research outputs (such as peer-reviewed research articles).
