===Venmani school=== {{main|Venmani School}} The third quarter of the nineteenth century bore witness to the rise of a new school of poets devoted to the observation of life around them and the use of pure Malayalam (''Pachcha Malayalam''). The major poets of the Venmani school were [[Venmani Achhan Nambudiripad]] (1817β1891), [[Venmani Mahan Nambudiripad]] (1844β1893), [[Poonthottam Achhan Nambudiri]] (1821β1865), [[Poonthottam Mahan Nambudiri]] (1857β1896) and the members of the [[Kodungallur Kovilakam]] (Royal Family) such as [[Kodungallur Kunjikkuttan Thampuran]]. The style of these poets became quite popular for a while and influenced even others who were not members of the group like [[Velutheri Kesavan Vaidyar]] (1839β1897) and Perunlli Krishnan Vaidyan (1863β1894). The Venmani school pioneered a style of poetry that was associated with common day themes, and the use of pure Malayalam rather than Sanskrit. The poetry was therefore easily understood by the common man. The works were known for its humour, wit, and lyrical metre.<ref name="mlm"/>
