It's noteworthy that medieval Indian poetry judges adhered to similar standards, evident in their unanimous acclaim of Kalidasa, a poet esteemed equally by Western critics. This revised overview includes minor textual refinements and references to recent scholarly works. This book comprehensively explores various aspects of classical Sanskrit literature, encompassing its historical origins, the literary predecessors who laid the foundation for Kalidasa, the contributions of Kalidasa himself, the post-Kalidasa epoch in epic poetry, the evolution of historical poetry, the emergence of prose romance and campu literature, the prevalence of popular narratives, the didactic fable tradition, the lyrical and gnomic forms of verse, and a range of theories associated with the art of poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gyan Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46194974458007,"sku":"9788121282697","price":203.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788121282697.webp?v=1769299507","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-heritage-of-india-series-9-classical-sanskrit-literature-9788121282697","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
