HOPKINS, S. P., The Flight of Love. A Messenger Poem of Medieval South India by Vedantedesika. Oxford University Press, 2016. 304p. Hardback. The Flight of Love, with its exploration of South Indian messenger poems, is a solid effort to show the significance of Sanskrit and Indian literature and the role it plays in the cultures, religions, and sacred spaces found amongst one of the largest and oldest human populations. Hopkins's book shows that simple messenger poems hold larger meaning by his connections of verses to the landscape of Tamil Nadu with powerful imagery and emotion.
