Literary Criticism

Professor had mastered himself the art of  writing a variety of books on literary criticism, giving a quite new dimension and approach to the subject. In this field, Professor was a ‘stand-alone’.  Most of these books were highly appreciated by Tamil scholars, and some of them were seriously criticized.  Many of the books under this category are being prescribed as text books as well as reference books for Post-graduate students of Tamil by many universities.  Research students find some of these books most useful and interesting.
