Description

Explore the complex history of the Ramayana through a scholarly lens with this volume from the Routledge Hindu Studies Series. While many contemporary Hindus view the Ramayana of Valmiki as a foundational religious text, this book investigates how that perception evolved over time. It examines the transformation of the epic from a work of literary culture into a work of remembered tradition. This academic study focuses on the specific historical period from 1250 to 1600 in South India. It analyzes how intellectuals within the Srivaisnava order reconceptualized the epic through various forms of expression. By studying Ramayana commentaries, poetic retellings, and praise-poems, the text provides a detailed look at the receptive history of this major epic. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Indian history, religious studies, and the theological evolution of South Indian traditions.
