The Uttararamacharita Of Bhavabhuti (The Uttararamacarita Of Bhavabhuti)

The Uttararamacarita Occupies A Very High Place In The Dramatic Literature Of The Hindus And It Is Accepted By Common Consent As A Masterpiece Of The Author.

Bhavabhuti Appears To Have Possessed All The Requisites Of The True Dramatist And Poet Active Imagination, An Exuberant Fancy, The Appreciation Of The Sublime And The Beautiful, High Power In Characterization, A Thorough Knowledge Of The Workings Of The Human Heart And A Ready Sympathy With Suffering Humanity.

In Addition To That He Has A Most Enviable Command Over Language And The Rhythm And Music Of His Verses Are Almost Matchless.

He Is A Master In The Art Of Depicting The Different Emotions Of The Human Heart And He Displays Everywhere A Profound Knowledge Of The Best Situations Calculated To Enhance The Impression Of His Delineations Of Such Sentiments.

His Uttararamacarita Is Essentially A Drama Of Pathos And His Indirect Boast That The One Sentiment Of Pathos Is Depicted By Him In Many Colours And Varied Phases Is Not At All Unmerited.
