Description

The classical literatures of Sanskrit, Tamil, and Telugu are among the richest in the world. These essays explore major issues and themes in the poetry and poetics of these three literatures, focusing on the role of the poet as making present an experience of the divine, and addressing the problem of the self and its processes of disintegration, disguise, and recomposition.
