Material Devotion in a South Indian Poetic World contributes new
methods for the study and interpretation of material religion found
within literary landscapes. 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
9th-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.
