The Tirupati Devasthanam recently sponsored a research project on
Annamacharya by one Dr. Chandrasekhar of Mysore. This book was reviewd by
Pappu Venugopala Rao in the magazine Sruti, published from Madras. From
what I remember of the review, the author has analyzed Annamacharya's
compositions with respect to Sri Vaishnava philosophy.
The publication details are:
Chandrasekhara, H. L.
Shri Annamacharya, a philosophical study : nature of reality and the
individual self according to Annamacharya / H.L. Chandrasekhara. 1st ed.
Mysore : Vidyashankara Prakashana, 1990.
Another publication on Annamacharya is:
Ramakrsnaravu, Adapa, 1927-
Annamacharya / Adapa Ramakrishna Rao. New Delhi : Sahitya Akademi, 1989.
Series title: Makers of Indian literature.
Of course, there are many other kinds of books which have notations of
Annamacharya's kirtanas.
