ఈ పుటను అచ్చుదిద్దలేదు
P. V. RAJAMANNAAR, B.A.,B.L.
Editor of trhe Telugu Journal 'kala"
Telugu literature abounds so much in stereotyped Kavyas steeped in an atmosphere of poetic conventions almost entirely unrelated to the actual life of the people that one seizes on a poem like "Kridabhirmamam" with pardonabable avidity. It portrays for us the actual life in a modern Telugu City, Ekasila, with a remarkable vividness and intimacy. The poem has also considerable poetic merit being in the matured style of the great Srinadha. The long introduction of Mr. Parabahakara Sastry, one of our ablest literary critics is very valuable and contains new information based on original research. The poem and the introduction no doubt contain verses which are obscene and revolting to modern taste but the publishers have done well in issuing if only for private circulation. And in a scholars' edition for private circulation. And in a scholars' edition there is no need for expurgation.
