"These fifteen essays, by a distinguished linguist and authority on Dravidian and Indo-Aryan languages and cultures, represent over 40 years of important work in developing the concept of a linguistic area. the author pioneered in the study of the linguistic Indianization of the invading Sanskrit speakers and the formation by convergence of the Indian linguistic area. In the process of his studies, he also investigated strategic typological features in the context of linguistic history and sociolinguistic factors." "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University.
