- Synopsis
-
The rise of Shripad Krishna Kolhatkar was an important event in modern Marathi Literature. His impact on Marathi Literature was so great that the period between 1892 and 1925 is described as the Age of Kolhatkar.
His creative imagination not only enriched different forms of literature, it set new trends also. The plays he wrote proved to be the harbinger of a new age. His critical reviews helped develop modern criticism in Marathi. While evaluating his contribution to Marathi literature, Govindrao Tembe, the well-known drama connoisseur, described Kolhatkar as a 'pioneer playwright'; Kusumavati Deshpande, the renowned scholar, honoured him with the title of the 'father of Marathi criticism'; and the great litterateur N.C. Kelkar called him 'the high priest' of humour.
He is rightly credited with starting a new age in drama, criticism and humour; also, with only sixteen or seventeen poems that he has written, he seems to have influenced the modern poetic tradition known as Ravikiran Mandal. His contribution was recognized not only in the area of short-story and novel, but also in scientific subjects like Astrology and Mathematics.
