Vedic India: As Embodied Principally in the Rig Veda

Zenaide A Ragozin (Author)

Synopsis The present volume, as originally planned, was to have included the post Vedic or Brahmanic period, and to have borne the title of Story of Vedic and Brahmanic India. The overwhelming mass of material, however, made it impossible to keep to the original plan, except at the cost of lucidity, completeness, interesting detail, and all the dualities that go to make a book with any claim to popularity. Nothing remained but to divide the subject matter into the two halves into which it naturally separates, and leave the Story of Brahmanic India to follow later on. It will embrace the results attained by the study of the Atharva Veda, the Barhmanas, the Upanishads, the laws, and a synopsis at least of the great epics.

About the author

Zenaide A Ragozin

Zenaide Alexander Ragozin was born in Russia about 1835. She had no regular education. She studied by herself and travelled extensively in Europe, especially in Italy. In 1874 she came to the United States, where she was naturalized. She has written numerous articles for Russian and American magazines, and was a member of the American Oriental Society, the Societe Ethnologique, the Athenee Oriental of Paris and the Victoria Institute, London. Her most important writings are: The Story of Chaldea (New York, 1886); The Story of Assyria (1887); and The Story of Media, Babylon, and Persia (1888) all in the "Story of the Nations" series. They form the first three volumes of a work on the ancient history of the East, more especially in its political and religious aspect.
