Rashtrakavi Dr. Guggari Shanthaveerappa Shivarudrappa or fondly known to all Kannada literary fans as GSS, is a poet of phenomenal significance for the new generation Kannadiga's. He is prominent among the small band of scholars who have negotiated ancient Kannada literature from the perspective of a modern literary critic and a historian. He has not evinced much interest in elementary disciplines such as textual criticism and manuscriptology. He has not pursued disciplines like prosody and grammar in a mechanical manner. However, he has examined literary works in their cultural context and made a successful attempt to make them relevant in the modern society. His erudition in Indian Poetics, Western Poetics and literary theory has enabled him to use literary critical tools in the analysis of ancient texts.
