This monograph is outstanding both in terms of the breadth of topics covered and the depth of scholarship through which these topics are explored. * Kiyokazu Okita, International Journal of Hindu Studies * Rembert Lutjeharms demonstrates why scholars need to consider seriously the work of Kar.nap=ura...Lutjeharms provides detailed analysis of each of Kar.nap=ura's six works, showing us how they fit into literary theoretical history as well as their place in Caitanya Vai.s.navism. His careful scholarship, and his philological skills, allowed Lutjeharms to produce an important monograph that belongs in the library of every scholar of early modern Vai.s.navism. * Rebecca Manring, Indiana University, Journal of the American Oriental Society * Lutjeharms has assembled a powerful argument for Kar=uapura's status among Vaisnavas as a theologian and poet to rival the main authorities in the tradition. The range of Sanskrit literary connections in the poet's work, along with the nuanced translations of the multiple meanings of the literary language using Kar=uapura's own framework, is an impressive instance of utilizing emic perspectives in understanding the texts. * Jeremy Hanes, Reading Religion *
