In this volume, 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, providing an authoritative volume overview of one of the world's most creative poetic traditions. An informative, engaging introduction fleshes 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVelcheru Narayana Rao \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor Emeritus at Emory University, where he was the first person to hold the Visweswara Rao and Sita Koppaka Professorship in Telugu Culture, Literature, and History. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Shulman \u003c\/b\u003eis Renee Lang Professor of Humanistic Studies at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50368578781458,"sku":"9780520344525","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ad551bfd-76af-4ff6-8d5f-7d1e57a346c2.jpg?v=1728510370","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/classical-telugu-poetry-volume-13-9780520344525","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
