330   $aCe livre rassemble des essais importants de Franc?ois Gros dont la plupart sont traduits et publie?s en anglais pour la premie?re fois. Ils vont de la litte?rature classique (Cankam, Bhakti) a? la litte?rature tamoule contemporaine, romans et nouvelles. Les nombreuses re?fe?rences a? la tradition indianiste franc?aise depuis le 18e?me sie?cle seront une de?couverte pour beaucoup de lecteurs non francophones. Si l'auteur insiste sur le devoir de prendre en compte l'apport original de l'e?rudition tamoule elle-me?me, il invite aussi celle-ci a? s'ouvrir aux autres langues de l'inde et du monde et a? inte?grer a? l'e?tude des textes l'histoire et ses disciplines essentielles, e?pigraphie, numismatique, arche?ologie, histoire de l'art. This book brings together for the first time in English all the major essays written by Franc?ois Gros on Tamil literature. An impressive range of topics is covered here from studies of Can?kam literature and devotional texts of the Tamil Bhakti traditions to contemporary Tamil novels and short stories. Many of the essays include an overview of French Indological work over past three centuries made available to the English speaking scholarly world for the first time here. While the author urges European and American scholars of Tamil history and culture to take the intellectual discourses of Tamil scholarship seriously, he insists at the same time that Tamil not be ghettoized but should rather be read alongside texts in other South Indian languages, with reference to the evidence of epigraphy, numismatics, archaeology and art history.
