Spread as they are almost equally in the pre and post Independence eras his writings offer eternally valid commentaries on the Gandhian politics with notes of approval, admiration and dissent, evaluate the beginnings of socialist awareness in Kerala and analyse the pitfalls in the short term political strategies and long term economic policies of the Nehruvian era.

Edasseri's writings also afford a very different perspective of the various aspects of womanhood; he has been rightly called the bard of the heroic Motherhood. And long before ecology and environmental pollution were heard of in this state of Kerala, Edasseri has internationalised the impending problem and prophesied the inevitable doom. Now, practitioners of Feminist Literary theory and eco aesthetics have re-discovered in him a kindred spirit. Edasseri also ranks as a major playwright and eminent prose writer of Malayalam. Interestingly he is one poet who has inspired many of his successor poets as a subject of poetry.
