Literature in Gujarati is sometimes also classified into two broad categories, namely poetry and prose, the former savouring and basking in its long lineage, dating back to the 6th century. Poetry as a perception was a medium for expressing religious beliefs and judgements, a stronghold of medieval Indian times. In this context of gradual evolution, the history of Gujarati literature is generally classed into three broad periods, consisting of the Early period (up to c. 1450 AD), the Middle period (1450 to 1850 AD) and the Modern period (1850 AD. onwards). However, Gujarati literature and its tremendous maturation and proficiency in contributing to culture is retraced back to sultanate days (referring to the Muzaffarid dynasty, which had provided the sultans of Gujarat in western India from 1391 to 1583).

Gujarati literature is divided mainly into three eras or Yugs; the early, medieval and modern, with these eras being further subdivided.

The early era (up to 1450 AD) and medieval era ( 1450 AD – 1850 AD) are divided into ‘before Narsinh’ and ‘after Narsinh’ periods sometimes. Some scholars divide this period as ‘Rāsa yug’, ‘Saguṇ Bhakti yug’ and ‘Nirguṇ Bhakti yug’ also.

The modern era (1850 AD to date) is divided into ‘Sudhārak Yug’ or ‘Narmad Yug’, ‘Paṇḍit Yug’ or ‘Govardhan Yug’, ‘Gandhi Yug’, ‘Anu-Gandhi Yug’, ‘Ādhunik Yug’ and ‘Anu-Ādunik Yug’.
