The Teleology Of Poetics In Medieval Kashmir
Examines the revolution in Sanskrit poetics initiated by the ninth-century Kashmiri Anandavardhana who replaced the formalist aesthetic of earlier poeticians with one stressing the unifunctionality of literary texts, arguing that all components of a work should subserve a single purpose - the communication of a single emotional mood (rasa).
