Anne E. Monius Biography

Anne E. Monius is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on February 17, 1964 in New Hampshire, United States. Anne Elizabeth Monius (February 17 1964 – August 3 2019,) was an American Indologist and scholar of religion. She was a professor of South Asian Religious Studies at Harvard Divinity School, best recognized for her analysis of literary culture that help to understand the past of religions in South India.

Since in 2010, Monius served as the author of American Academy of Religion’s books series Religion in Translation, a continuation of the Texts and Translations series that she edited with her husband since 2004.

Monius has studied in Chennai for two years, conducting research on two Buddhist texts written in the Tamil language.

Monius was a student at Hollis Area High School in Hollis, New Hampshire, where she was named valedictorian of the year in 1982. Then, she went to Harvard University to study theoretical Astrophysics. Inspiring by a class on Indian civilisations by Diana L. Eck, she switched her major in South Asian religions. She earned her bachelor’s degree in 1986. She followed it up by doctoral and master’s diplomas (1997) in 1997) from Harvard.

Between 1997 and the year 2002 Monius was a professor in the religious studies department within the University of Virginia. Monius joined in the Harvard Divinity School in 2002 which she remained at until her death. She was promoted to full professor in 2004.

This well-received book sought to establish the cultural milieu of the Tamil country from the Manimekalai (thought to date from the 6th century) and the Virocoliyam (11th century). Monius suggested that it was possible to tease out their world even in the absence of contextual background in the form of archaeology or parallel developments in Southeast Asian Buddhism. Her reconstruction of the world of the former text, drawing parallels from the Jaina text Cilappatikaram, appeared however to conflict against it being a one-off, and has been criticised for ignoring the possibility that there was a thriving literary production that drew across a multitude of religious traditions. Indeed, Monius placed these texts within a pan-Buddhist sphere that worked across languages, establishing connections with Pali and Sanskrit literary productions.
