Subramanian, Lakshmi.

From the Tanjore Court to the Madras Music Academy : a social history of music in South India. / akshmi Subramanian. - New Delhi : Oxford University Press , 2011. - xx, 196p. : 24cm.

This book presents a distinctive account of the striking transformation of traditional music as it moved out of the quiet courtyards of Tanjore to the concert halls of Madras. It examines the making of a modern classical tradition and the related institution-building process, and raises larger questions of identity and imagination in the context of colonial and postcolonial social realities. The second edition with a new introduction updates the reader on the recent research in the field and highlights the need for an inter-disciplinary approach.
