Reference Grammar of Classical Tamil Poetry (150 B.C.-Pre-5th/6th Century A.D.): Memoirs, American Philosophical Society (Vol. 199) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780871691996)

A reference tool for those who seek an understanding of the structure of classical Tamil poetry. This poetry reflects indigenous literary and cultural traditions of southern India, and therefore, a study of it is imperative for obtaining a balanced view of India's past and present cultures. The language which produced this poetry, Tamil, is the only living language of modern India that has an uninterrupted history spanning more than two millennia, and therefore, a study of it becomes even more crucial for a thorough understanding of India's linguistic complexity. Includes a bibliography.
