Medieval Indian Literature - An Anthology - SAHITYA AKADEMI ©1997

This volume, the first of three, has two parts: Surveys of all the languages and Selections from three languages - Assamese, Bengali and Dogri. The surveys present an objective assessment of the different literary trends and of the beginnings of the medieval period and comment on the origin of some of the Indian languages which came into being in this period. Besides laying stress on the contributions of individual authors and their historical significance, they also feature the intrinsic literary merits of the major works written during this period.
