The following pages provide a few samples of Telugu Literature. They also provide brief introductions to some literary works and writers. The long-term aim is to provide complete electronic texts of Telugu literary works much the same way as the Sanskrit and other projects of similar nature. This project solely depends upon volunteer efforts. All those interested in Telugu are urged to participate in this effort by contributing or by developing their own companion web sites. Please go through the "Scope" if you are likely to be interested in helping and/or participating.
