5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book,
By V. Herbert "Goldmohur" (Kilauea, HI) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tamil Love Poetry and Poetics (Brill's Indological Library, Vol 9) (Hardcover)
If you want to learn about Sangam Tamil Akam poetry conventions, this is the book for you. It is an excellent tutor if you plan to learn about Akam poetics. In addition to a general overview of Sangam literature, he has information on Tholkâppiyam, thurai, (colophon), thinais in Akam, concepts like muthal, karu and uri which help one analyze and understand the poems, and other Akam technicalities. Also he compares Iraiyanar's Akapporul and Akkaporul Vilakkam in kalavu, varaivu and karpu in all their different phases. There is a chapter where he deals with dating Akam texts. All in all, it is an excellent book for a Sangam Tamil student.
