A literary salon in what is now Bangladesh, at the eastern extreme of the nexus of regional courtly cultures that defined the age, seems to have implicitly reformulated its entire literary system in the context of the imminent breakdown of the old courtly world, as Turkish power expanded and redefined the landscape.  Through close readings of a little-known corpus of texts from eastern India, this ambitious book demonstrates how a local and rural sensibility came to infuse the cosmopolitan language of Sanskrit, creating a regional literary idiom that would define the emergence of the Bengali language and its literary traditions. 410 0$aSouth Asia across the disciplines. 606 $aSanskrit poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPoetics$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aBengal (India)$xIntellectual life 607 $aBengal (India)$xCourt and courtiers 610 $a13th century literature. 610 $abangladesh. 610 $abengal. 610 $abengali language. 610 $abookish. 610 $acosmopolitan. 610 $acourtly writing. 610 $acreative writing. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aeastern india. 610 $ahigh literature. 610 $ahigh styles of writing. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aindian subcontinent. 610 $aking laksmanasena of bengal. 610 $aliterary studies. 610 $aliterary traditions. 610 $aliterary. 610 $aliterature. 610 $alow styles of writing. 610 $aold courtly world. 610 $apastoral poetry. 610 $apoems. 610 $apoetry and poets. 610 $apoetry. 610 $aregional literature. 610 $arural. 610 $asanskrit poetry. 610 $aurban. 610 $averse. 610 $awriting. 615 0$aSanskrit poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPoetics$xHistory 676 $a891/.21009 700 $aKnutson$b Jesse Ross$0765732 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821960103321 996 $aInto the twilight of Sanskrit court poetry$91560071 997 $aUNINA
