Overview
"... a significant contribution to the field... great insight, learning, and clarity." — George Hart III, University of California, Berkeley
"A master's hand is behind this volume." — Religious Studies Review
"... eminently readable... artfully explains the initial spirit and modern understanding of Tamil bhakti poetry... " — Pacific Affairs
"Norman Cutler's major achievement in Songs of Experience is the new critical perspective he provides on bhakti poetry." — The Journal of Religion
Cutler reveals the link between Tamil poetry and religion. His fluent translations make the poems — songs of the experience of God — live for us as they did for their first audience nearly fifteen centuries ago.
