Epic Nation explores the appropriations and reimaginings of the Mahabharata as a text in the Pauranik genre. It covers a wide range of writings, from the elite, 'canonical' writers such as Mahavirprasad Dvivedi, Maithilisharan Gupt, and Ramcharit Upadhyay, to the relatively under-estimated playwright Badrinath Bhatt and the Parsi commercial theatre of Kathavacak.
