The poets of Hindu devotion are known for their intimate celebration of deities, and while verses over a thousand years old are still treasured, translated, and performed, little attention has been paid to the evocative sensorial worlds referenced by these literary compositions. This book offers a material interpretation of an understudied poem that defined an entire genre of South Asian literature - Tirukkovaiyar - the ninth-century Tamil poem dedicated to Shiva. The poetry of Tamil South India invites travel across real and imagined geography, naming royal patrons, ancient temple towns, and natural landscapes. Leah Elizabeth Comeau locates the materiality of devotion to Shiva in a world unique to the South Indian vernacular and yet captivating to audiences across time, place, and tradition."--taken from back cover. 630 00 $a Tirumurøai. $p Tirukkovaiyar. 650 0 $a Tamil poetry $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Material culture $x Hinduism. $x Hinduism. 650 0 $a Devotional literature. 650 0 $a Religion and literature $z India, South. 650 0 $a Tamil poetry $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 650 0 $a Tamil (Indic people) $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Hinduism $z India $v Sacred books. 651 0 $a India, South $x Religious life and customs. 650 7 $a Tamil (Indic people) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01142428 650 7 $a Material culture $x Hinduism. $x Hinduism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02021254 650 7 $a Hinduism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957121 650 7 $a Devotional literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00892015 650 7 $a Religion and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093839 650 7 $a Tamil poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01142555 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 651 7 $a South India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01692635 655 7 $a Sacred books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423905 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Comeau, Leah Elizabeth, $t Material devotion in a South Indian poetic world $d London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2020 $z 9781350122901 $w (OCoLC)1143490715 830 0 $a Bloomsbury studies in material religion. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033250.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=820DF47E8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
