Imagining a Place for Buddhism: Literary Culture and Religious Community in Tamil-Speaking South India
Monius, Dr Anne E. (Assistant Professor, Department of Religious Studies, Assistant Professor, Department of Religious Studies, University of Virginia)
By focusing on two extant Buddhist complete texts in Tamil - a sixth-century poetic narrative known as the 'Manimekalai' and an 11th-century treatise on grammar and poetics, the 'Viracoliyam', Monius sheds light on their role of literature and literary culture in the information, articulation, and evolution of religious identity and community.
