The Cilappatikaram of Ilanko Atikal: An Epic of South India

Literary studies of India's epic traditions have long focused on the Sanskrit classics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, thereby excluding works in Tamil. Now, the eminent poet R. Parthasarathy offers a memorable verse translation of the renowned Tamil poem the Cilappatikaram, or The Tale of the Anklet, one of the world's masterpieces and India's finest epic in a language other than Sanskrit.
