Book Description
About the Book

With literature in the various Indian languages interacting more vigorously today than ever before, it has become all-important that critical practice in them shares a common theoretical framework, so that the assumptions, analytical tools and evaluative criteria used are roughly uniform. Obviously there are major advantages in evolving this framework from existing Indian theory rather than sources elsewhere. The most widely dominant Indian critical system is the Rasa-dhavanitheory formula ted in Sanskrit in the 9th Century. But before adopting it, it must be revised in the light of other Indian and Western theories, and it must also be tested on texts in Indian languages. It is this latter that Krishna Rayan's book seeks to do. Texts in sixteen languages, in English translation, are analysed and commented upon, in order to ascertain whether pertinent critical observations that arise naturally about them do in fact spring from a moderni zed Rasa-dhvani theory. The conclusion is that they indeed do and that a common Indian poetic is both necessary and feasible. The book is bound to be of much use and interest to all those engaged in critical exposition of Indian literary texts, whether it be through full-length studies, occasional papers, or classroom lectures. book reviews, or classroom lectures.
