Author: M K NaikPublisher: Abhinav PublicationsYear: 1984Language: EnglishPages: 252ISBN/UPC (if available): 81-7017-192-X DescriptionThis collection includes two types of essays - those evaluating the entire works of major poets and schools and those intending intensive textual analyses of some outstanding poems written in English by Indians like 'Savitri', 'Gitanjali' and 'Jejuri'.Though several collections of critical essays on Indian English poetry have appeared during recent years, all of them have uniformly confined their attention to post independence poetry alone. This book presents a comprehensive collection of critical studies covering the entire range of Indian English poetry from the beginning to the present day.Apart from presenting an authoritative evaluation of the work of major poets, it offers intensive textual analyses of outstanding poems like 'Savitri', 'Gitanjali' and 'Jejuri'.ContentsPrefaceHenry Derozio: An Assessment - C Paul VergheseToru Dutt: The Mona Lisa of
