Hindi Sahitya Ka Itihas-An Introduction To History Of Hindi Literature  (Hardcover, Hindi, Dr. Mohanlal Ratnakar, Virendrakumar Aggrawal)

The history of Acharya Shukla from ancient times to modern times runs in a fact-based and logical manner. In his initial introduction, Acharya Shukla has said that literature is a cumulative reflection of the mind-set of the people. Examining the tradition of these attitudes, the history and criticism-karma of Acharya Shukla lies in showing their harmony with the literature-tradition. A great feature of this history is that by reaching the context of the modern period, Shukla ji has created a detailed, though indicative, scenario of European literature. This gives a clearer understanding of sources, contacts and influences in their historical interpretation.
