Details: The book examines how Tamil poets gradually shifted their focus from praising kings, chieftains, and elites to reflecting the lives of ordinary people. It explores how poets composed various forms of poetry like ulaa, pillaithamizh, maalai, sathagam, agaval, kalampagam, kovai, and toothu. The emergence of new genres such as virali vidu thoothu focused on depicting the lives of Brahmins, dancers, and prostitutes. It also discusses the rise of Puranams and Thalapuranams in popular pilgrimage literature and highlights Tamil Christian poetical religious works. The book further explores how these works exposed social issues like untouchability, superstitions, bribery, and corruption. This volume is a crucial guide for understanding the radical changes in Tamil poetry after the advent of Europeans.
