Indian Kavya Literature (Vol. VII in 2 pts.) The wheel of time

This volume on the twelfth and thirteenth centuries starts with Vidyakara's retrospect over anonymous poets (named ones having mostly found their places in earlier volumes). After some smaller anthologies a few novels and Mankhaka's mythological epic we come to a historical epic. History is the most substantial source of matter for literature in the volume. That might seem to contrast with Vol. Vi, but as literature its aim is always are, not facts which narrows the gap.
