The Amaruśataka And The Lives Of Indian Love Poems

Synopsis

Redacted around the seventh century, the Amaruśataka is a collection of one hundred love poems that has been admired by South Asian literary communities for more than a millennium. This book introduces readers to the putative organizers of this anthology, the lenses through which these poems have been read, amended, and deployed, and the contexts through which they became authoritative and standardized. This microstudy also considers visual recensions and their roles in the vast transfers of cultural knowledge that transpired in the vernacular millennium. The Amaruśataka and the Lives of Indian Love Poems proposes a new way to study South Asian literature and painting as media that jointly forged customs in their own right. In all these ways, this book provides a model for approaching the study of other beloved South Asian texts.
