"Medieval Kashmir in its golden age saw the development of some of the most sophisticated
theories of language, literature, and emotion articulated in the pre-modern world.
These theories, enormously influential on the later intellectual history of South
Asia, were written at a time when religious education was ubiquitous among intellectuals,
and when religious philosophies were hotly and publicly debated. It was also a time
of deep interreligious influence and borrowing, when traditions intermixed and intellectuals
pushed the boundaries of their own inheritance by borrowing ideas from many different
places-even from their rivals. To Savor the Meaning examines the overlap of literary
theory and religious philosophy in this period by looking at debates about how poetry
communicates emotions to its readers, what it is readers do when they savor these
emotions, and why this might be valuable. Focusing on the work of three influential
figures--Ānandavardhana [ca. 850 AD], Abhinavagupta [ca. 1000 AD], and the somewhat
lesser known theorist Mahimabhaṭṭa [ca. 1050 AD]--this book gives a broad introduction
to their ideas and reveals new, important, and previously overlooked aspects of their
work and their debates, placing them within the wider context of the religious philosophies
current in Kashmir at the time, and showing that their ideas cannot be fully understood
in isolation from this broader context"
