Indian Kāvya Literature
This volume on the twelfth and thirteenth centuries starts with Vidyakara`s retrospect over anonymous poets (named ones having mostly found their places in earlier volumes). After some smaller anthologies a few novels and Mankhaka`s mythological epic we come to a historical epic. History is the most substantial source of matter for literature in the volume. That might seem to contrast with Vol. Vi, but as literature its aim is always are, not facts which narrows the gap.
Ancient Malwa and the Vikramāditya Tradition
Description: This book comprises of Carmichael lectures delivered at the University of Calcutta, and is shining example of what scholarship of an exceptional order can achieve combined with an imaginative insight into the working of historical processes. The apparently disconnected threads of a forgotten history have been woven into a coherent and meaningful narratives being projected on a broad canvas on which is depicted a Millenium's development of ancient Indian political scenes and strategy with which the fate of Malwa was inextricably bound up. Professor Sircar gives a refreshingly new orientation to the age-long controversy centering on the identity of the original Vikramaditya and the circumstances connected with the introduction of the Vikrama era, and formulates certain definitive conclusions which for the ability shown confused masses of legends and traditions and conflicting testimonies of diverse sorts, bear the unmistakable stamp of an illuminating and convincing exposition.
