Contents, preface, 160pp., an excellent copy in paperback. "This volume is the first substantial collection in English of these Telugu poems, which still form part of the standard corpus of songs used by dancers in the classical south Indian style. In their preface the authors discuss the historical and cultural background to th…ese poems, the traditions current about the poets and their place in south Indian literature, the attempts to contain the explicit eroticism of the songs by various apologetic and rationalizing devices and the nature and meaning of a devotionalism couched in this idiom of mercenary love."

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How is it that this woman's breasts glimmer so clearly through her saree Can't you guess, my friends What are they but rays from the crescents left by the nails of her lover pressing her in his passion, rays now luminous as the moonlight of a summer night These South Indian devotional poems s…how the dramatic use of erotic language to express a religious vision. Written by men during the fifteenth to eighteenth century, the poems adopt a female voice, the voice of a courtesan addressing her customer. That customer, it turns out, is the deity, whom the courtesan teases for his infidelities and cajoles into paying her more money. Brazen, autonomous, fully at home in her body, she merges her worldly knowledge with the deity's transcendent power in the act of making love.This volume is the first substantial collection in English of these Telugu writings, which are still part of the standard repertoire of songs used by classical South Indian dancers. A foreword provides context for the poems, investigating their religious, cultural, and historical significance. Explored, too, are the attempts to contain their explicit eroticism by various apologetic and rationalizing devices.The translators, who are poets as well as highly respected scholars, render the poems with intelligence and tenderness. Unusual for their combination of overt eroticism and devotion to God, these poems are a delight to read.
