A History of Sanskrit Literature - Arthur a Macdonell - Bog

A classic work on the history of Sanskrit. Invaluable for the student of linguistics and philology. The work represents a complete history of Sanskrit literature in a condensed and succinct form. It embodies a general study of the Vedic, Epic, Puranic, classical and philosophical literature. It sheds light on the life and thought of Ancient and Medieval India as reflected in the literary productions of those periods. It provides information both interesting and instructive. Even with the lapse of time, the utility of this small work has not diminished.
