Tyāgarāja. 1767-1847 --Bibliography --IndexThis groundbreaking anthology opens a window on a thousand years of classical poetry in Telugu, the mellifluous language of Andhra Pradesh in southern India. The classical tradition in Telugu is one of the richest yet least explored of all South Asian literatures. This authoritative volume, the first anthology of classical Telugu poetry in English, gives an overview of one of the world's most creative poetic traditions. Velcheru Narayana Rao and David Shulman have brought together mythological, religious, and secular texts by twenty major poets who wrote between the eleventh and nineteenth centuries. The beautifully translated selections are often dramatic and unexpected in tone and effect, and sometimes highly personal. The authors have provided an informative, engaging introduction, fleshing out the history of Telugu literature, situating its poets in relation to significant literary themes and historical developments, and discussing the relationship between Telugu and the classical literature and poetry of Sanskrit.Telugu poetryTo 1500Translations into EnglishTelugu poetry1500-1800Translations into Englishasian literature.brahmin.courtesan songs.courtesan.divine.folk tale.folklore.hindi literature.hinduism.literature.mahabharata.mancana.marriage.myth.nannaya.nannecoda.naraka.nonfiction.poetry.religious poetry.sanskrit.south asian literature.sukumara.telugu.tikkana.udanka and the snakes.vena.visnu the dwarf.widow.world literature.Telugu poetryTelugu poetry894.8/271008Narayana Rao Velcheru1932-924571Shulman David Dean1949-919288MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455643603321Classical Telugu poetry2487106UNINA
