Rupert Snell (born 1951) is a British scholar of Hindi language and literature. He is best known as the author of Hindi language learning books for the Teach Yourself Languages Series.
Snell's academic career began at the SOAS University of London and continued at the University of Texas at Austin.
He was the 1997 recipient of the Dr. George Grierson Award for promoting the Hindi language abroad.[1]
In his youth, Rupert Snell developed an interest in Indian music, having heard Ravi Shankar's music for the first time in 1967. This led him to enroll in 1970 at the SOAS University of London for a BA degree in Hindi.[2] He traveled to India, then returned to SOAS to complete his BA, as well as a PhD in 1984 on pre-modern Braj Bhasha, with a dissertation on a sixteenth-century devotional text, the Hita Caurāsī of Hit Harivansh Goswami.
Snell taught at SOAS for three decades, and then moved to the University of Texas at Austin[3] in 2006. During his tenure at UT Austin, he also served as the Director of the Hindi Urdu Flagship program for several years until his retirement in 2017.
Works by Snell include:[4]
In addition to various books for learners of modern Hindi for which he is best known to the public, Snell has published articles in journals, and edited volumes on aspects of Hindi and its culture. His scholarly interest is on modern Hindi and its earlier literature in the Braj and Awadhi dialects, with a focus on aesthetics and the literary production of meaning.
