17 reviews for A History of Sanskrit Literature

  1. Swagatika Panda

    Excellent scholarship! I learned so much. A little dry but worth the effort.

  2. Pooja

    Enjoyed the sections on the epics. The Brahmanas and Sutras were less interesting to me.

  3. Ridhi Shree

    This book felt like a real history lesson. Little too much information for a casual reader.

  4. Anchal Jaiswal

    A decent overview, but felt a bit dry at times. Could’ve used more engaging examples.

  5. Gauraang Gupta

    Provided a broad survey of the subject; however, it occasionally lacked depth.

  6. Vishakha

    MacDonell’s book gave good insights into the fairy tales and fables, as well as the comparison with western lit.

  7. Janani Sree

    Good information. However, the author has a particular bent to his writing.

  8. Sagar Meena

    Very insightful, even if you are new to the world of Sanskrit Literature. It can be quite a heavy read though.

  9. Raghav Aggarwal

    I wish this book provided more modern interpretations of the ancient Sanskrit texts.

  10. Moksh Ashish Shah

    A bit dense, but offers a comprehensive look at Sanskrit literature. A great resource for students.

  11. Priyanshu Sharma

    A good starting point for understanding Sanskrit literature. Not the most exciting read though.

  12. Swaraj Chandan Patil

    Found it a bit overwhelming with all the names and details. Needed more context.

  13. Hemant Kumar

    A true classic. Any serious student of Sanskrit needs to have this on their shelf.

  14. Muddassir Hussain

    MacDonell’s work is a classic! A must-read for anyone interested in Sanskrit. Some chapters were a bit too dense.

  15. Deba Kumar Narzary

    A comprehensive resource, though the writing style is dated. Still, very informative.

  16. Ramya Tripathi

    An academic and detailed book. If you are serious about learning Sanskrit literature, its a must read.

  17. Sonika Vashisht

    Its comprehensive, but quite boring. I wish it delved deeper into fewer topics.
