| Abstract | "The Buffalo Century is a keen exploration into satire and its role in society and politics. Written in praise of a buffalo, V♯¿©łche¿¿vara D♯±k£̀Đita's Mahi£̀Đa¿¿atakam is timeless in its treatment of power, and its subversion. In resurrecting the 18th century Tanjore for the modern reader, Veluthat lifts the poem beyond its immediate literary context and situates it in a contemporary global political setting. Presenting a modern English translation along with Sanskrit text, this work provides a fare that is as rich in double entendre as it is in its onomatopoeic metaphors. A literary triumph and the voice of an age, this book will be a key text for students and scholars of history, political science, sociology, literature, especially Sanskrit and comparative, and cultural studies"-- Provided by publisher. |
