[Y-Indology] books on dutakavya

[Guest guest]

Dear Phillip,

 

I suggest looking at the various histories of Sanskrit literature, especially

the local ones, such as Dutta's Bengal's Contribuition to Sanskrit Literature

and other works of the sort. Editions of later duta kavyas (anything but

Meghaduta) will likely have some discussion of the topic. I have a short

discussion of the topic in the introduction (pages 11-14) to my translation of

Hamsaduta and Uddhavasandesa, Rupa Goswami's two works in the genre, which was

published under the unfortunate title of Mystic Poetry. It is still available

at www.mandala.org.

 

Yours, Jan

I am actually deeply embarrassed that I wrote, once again advertising my book.

If there is any way that I can be of assistance let me know. Are you still in

Toronto, or back in Italy?

Jatindra Bimal Chaudhuri also edited, in the Pracyavani Text Series

Vol. XVII (Samskrita-Duta-Kavya-Samgraha Vol. VII), Calcutta 1955, the

PadAGkadUta of KRSNasArvabhauma of Bengal. The introductory material,

however, does not deal with the dUta genre in general, but only with

the present work and its author.

Thanks to you and to all who replied onlist and off. All of Professors

Cahill and Knudsen's titles turn out to be in my library, but I do not know

enough about the genre to have made the best search. Of your suggestions

we have Ranganathan's but not the others.
