Synopsis
Jackson's new book looks at the life and songs of Annamacharya, Purandaradasa, and Kanakadasa. It provides biographical and critical essays on the singer-saints along with fresh translations of their songs, and general introduction, and an essay on Bhakti literature., Looking at the life and songs of Annamacharya, Purandaradasa, and Kanakadasa, this book contains biographical and critical essays on the singer-saints along with fresh translations of their songs. A general introduction and an essay on Bhakti literature put the songs in to their historical and literary context., This anthology provides a representative selection from the songs of three great singer-saints of sixteenth century southern India. William Jackson translates the songs of Annamacharya, Purandaradasa, and Kanakadasa in an English that is sometimes startlingly contemporary and colloquial, capturing the essence of bhakti as a movement that belonged to the people, and spoke the language of the streets. All three singer-saints lived during the peak of the Vijayanagara empire, around1500 AD, when southern India a renaissance of Hindu culture and the north experienced a wave of bhakti enthusiasm. Thay shared an intense, transformative devotion to Vishnu in various forms; in experiences imbued with drama, each of them found their calling, gave up their humdrum lives for an asceticone. Between them they were the acknowledged masters, even progenitors, of the love lyric, and Karnatic music. Jackson's illuminating essays on each of the singer-saints tells the story of their lives and the literature they originated. A general introduction and an essay on Bhakti literature put the songs into their historical and literary context., This anthology provides a representative selection from the songs of three great singer-saints of sixteenth century southern India.
