Jain Ramaya a Narratives: Moral Vision and Literary Innovation traces how and why Jain authors at different points in history rewrote the story of Rama and situates these texts within larger frameworks of South Asian religious history and literature.

The book argues that the plot, characters, and the very history of Jain Rama composition itself served as a continual font of inspiration for authors to create and  express  novel  visions  of  moral  personhood.  In making this argument,  the book examines  three  versions  of  the  Rama  story composed  by  two authors, separated in time and space by over 800 years and thousands of miles. The first is Ravi e a, who composed the Sanskrit Padmapura a (“The Deeds of Padma”), and the second is Brahma Jinadasa, author of both a Sanskrit Padmapura a and a vernacular (bha a) version of the story titled Ram Ras (“The Story of Ram”). While  the  three compositions  narrate  the  same  basic story  and  work  to  shape ethical subjects, they do so in different ways and with different visions of what a moral person actually is. A close comparative reading focused on the differences between these three texts reveals the diverse visions of moral personhood held by Jains in premodernity and demonstrates the innovative narrative strategies authors utilized in order to actualize those visions.

The book is thus a valuable contribution to the fields of Jain studies and religion and literature in premodern South Asia.

Recenzijas

"[ ...] Gregory M. Clines monograph, Jain Ramayana Narratives: Moral Vision and Literary Innovation, provides a much-needed intervention in the study of Rmyaas. There, Clines aims to recast Jain Rmyaas as an internally diverse corpus of narratives. Each retelling responds to earlier Jain versions of the tale, as well as to a network of contemporaneous discourses. Such an argument could, of course, be proven in various ways. But given that Jainism has been misread as a religion concomitant with nonviolence and renunciation, Clines draws out the distinct visions of moral behaviour that each Jain Rmyaa constructs. He argues that each Jain retelling expresses a range of ethical values that include, but go beyond, prescriptions of nonviolent and nonattached action voiced by Jain doctrinal and commentarial texts. [ ...] a generative book that opens new directions for Jain Rmyaa studies." - Seema K. Chauhan, University of Oxford, UK, Reading Religion
