The History of Sanskrit Poetics

c4.7

The History of Alaṅkāra Literature can naturally be divided into two parts. The first part would have to be devoted to an account of the important works on the Alaṅkāraśāstra, a brief analysis of the contents and the chronology of writers on the Alaṅkāraśāstra and other kindred matters. More space would have to be devoted to early writers. The second part would comprise a review of the subjects that fall to be treated under the Alaṅkāraśāstra, attempt to show how from very small beginnings various theories about Poetics and literary criticism were evolved, dilate upon the different aspects of an elaborate theory of Poetics and trace the history of literary theories in India.
