Namaste!

Although not about Sanskrit literature,

A. R. Venkatachalapthy.  2012.  *The Province Of The Book: **Scholars,Scribes
and Scribblers in Colonial Tamilnadu*.  Permanent Black.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/8178243318

David Shulman.  2016.  *Tamil: A Biography*.  Belknap Press.
https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674059924
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0674059921/

Cheers!
