The treasury of Hindi literature is sufficiently rich. There has been a prolific creation of literature in almost all genres of prose and poetry. Many timeless works have emerged. Writers and poets have established high standards of creation, on which the creation of literature has been chronologically documented; that era is known by their names. Acharya Ramchandra Shukla, after deep research and contemplation, has taken a comprehensive view of the entire history of Hindi literature.

The history of Hindi literature written by the eminent historian and litterateur Acharya Ramchandra Shukla is considered the most authentic and empirically validated. Before him, the history of Hindi had been written; but Acharya Ji's knowledge is displayed on a wide canvas. It includes descriptions of Apabhramsha poetry and Deshbhasha poetry from the Adikal or Veer Gatha period, followed by a focus on the Gyanmargi, Premmargi, Ram Bhakti, Krishna Bhakti branches, and other compositions of the Bhakti period. It encompasses the literature of all writers and poets of the subsequent Ritikāl period.

Advancing the study, it discusses the modern era's prose literature, its tradition, and development, along with poetry at its center of analysis. The field of Hindi literature is expansive in all directions. To know and understand the history of Hindi literature comprehensively and deeply, Acharya Ramchandra Shukla's historical text is the most appropriate.
