Description
This set illustrates the diversity of Indian language and literature, incorporating translations and discussions of Indian poetry, dramas and proverbs. Albrecht Weber's foundational study, The History of Indian Literature includes analyses of writings from the Sanskrit, Buddhist and Vedic periods. Herman Jensen's A Classical Collection of Tamil Proverbs lists proverbs in the Tamil script and with both a literal translation, and an explanation in English. Similarly, John Christian's Behar Proverbs illustrates the different means of expression in these regional proverbs. The volumes in this set will be very useful research tools for anyone interested in Indian Language and Literature.

Description
First Published in 2000. This title is Volume 10 in the 14-volume series titled India: Language and Literature, one of the Truber's Oriental Series. The lectures in this volume were presented to the narrow circle fellows in this field of study. This publication will now reach the wider circle of those interested and those researchers of the history of literature generally. The form in which these lectures appear is essentially the same in which they were delivered while incidental remarks are given as footnotes and new matter has been added.
