<div>Dear Colleagues,</div><div><br></div><div>I wondered if there is a preferred English-language term used currently to replace “poetician” when referring to writers on poetics / literary and aesthetic theory / literary criticism / figures of speech in the Sanskrit traditions of Alankara Sastra and Kavya Sastra. I find “poetician” somewhat dated and I’ve never really seen it used outside of Indological scholarship. </div><div><br></div><div>Please advise. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div><br></div><div>Ananya Vajpeyi. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><br>-- <br>Sent on the fly, please excuse typos. <br>
