About The Book
Visvanatha Kaviraja's popularity has been unquestionable in both the history and practice of Sanskrit poetics over centuries, despite some adverse remarks on the originality of his theoretical exercises. The present work offers a comprehensive account of Visvanatha's treatment of poetry in its theoretical perspectives. It presents historical data regarding Visvanatha's time, location, and works—both extant and lost—surveys the developments of Sanskrit poetics from the earliest times until Visvanatha's entry, and discusses different topics that Visvanatha considered relevant for a complete examination and assessment of the subject matter. These include the definition, structure, and end of poetry.
