This volume charts the contours of a reimagined and revitalized field of Indology in light of Sheldon Pollock’s groundbreaking research. The essays herein are organized into five groups that reflect major domains of Pollock’s immense contributions to the field: the epic Ramayana; Sanskrit literature and literary theory; systemic thought in premodern South Asia; the birth of a new vernacular cultural order in the subcontinent during the second millennium CE; and India’s early modernity. While most of these essays concentrate on materials in Sanskrit, there are considerable contributions to the history of Hindi, Tamil and Persian literatures as well.
