About the Book
This book brings together, for the first time in English, the major essays written by Francois Gros on Tamil literature. Covering a wide spectrum of topics, it spans studies of ancient Cankam literature, devotional texts of the Tamil Bhakti traditions, and modern Tamil novels and short stories.
Several essays provide an overview of three centuries of French Indological scholarship, making these insights accessible to the English-speaking academic world for the first time. Gros encourages European and American scholars of Tamil history and culture to engage seriously with Tamil intellectual discourse, while emphasizing that Tamil literature should not be studied in isolation. The work highlights connections with other South Indian languages and is enriched with references to epigraphy, numismatics, archaeology, and art history.
This volume is an indispensable resource for researchers, students, and readers interested in Tamil literature, Indological studies, and the broader cultural history of South India.
