Answer 2

Explanation:

Prentiss, Karen Pechilis. The Embodiment of Bhakti. New York: Oxford University Press, 1999.

--Though this work is primarily an in-depth study of a regional tradition of Tamil Shiva-bhakti (i.e, the nayanmars, cf. Poems to Shiva), it is valuable for its up-to-date and succinct summary of the history of the scholarly interpretation of ‘bhakti’ as a category. As such, it is replete with references to ‘orientalists’ and the many scholars that have worked in this field, but through all the detail a broad sense of the ‘hot spots’ of the history and present state of bhakti studies can be gained. See especially Part I, pp. 13-41.

--A collection of essays in tribute to the work of french scholar Charlotte Vaudeville. In keeping with this purpose, the essays approach Hinduism and bhakti mainly (though not exclusively) through their ‘folk’ origins. Essays on manifestations of bhakti such as the significance of the worship of footprints (Bakker, pp. 19-37) and on the dog as a symbol of bhakti itself (Tulpule, pp. 273-285).

Lele, Jayant, ed. Tradition and Modernity in Bhakti Movements. Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1981.

--Though a bit dated, this is the only collection of essays (that I have found) organized around the question of bhakti and modernization. Particular attention is paid to the Warkari (Maharastra) bhakti movement. Also contains an essay by Hawley on Sur Das’ poetry.
