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. ER -
