Asoka: In History and Historical Memory

by Patrick Olivelle

It is intended to advance the study of Asoka both as history and historical memory. Looks at not only the "historical truth" of Asoka, but also the ways in which Asoka presented himself and his political, nationalistic, and religious purposes by succeeding generations both in India and in other parts of Asia, especially Buddhist nations and communities.
