Description
Since its first publication, Modern Indian Poetry in English, with its extensive coverage of the social and publishing history of poetry as well as its chronology of major events and writings, has established the canon of significant Indian poets.
This revised edition of the classic Modern Indian Poetry in English examines changes in the direction of Indian poetry. Five chapters added to the original edition discuss poets such as Menka Shivdasani, Tara Patel, Imtiaz Dharker, Charmayne D'Souza, Meena Alexander, Sujata Bhatt, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Ranjit Hoskote, Jeet Thayil, C.P. Surendran, Vijay Nambisan, R. Raj Rao, Bibhu Padhi, Tabish Khair, and G.J.V. Prasad.
Besides covering these newer poets, the chapters include:
- A survey of developments in publishing
- A survey of new writing by established poets
- A study of the late Agha Shahid Ali as a major international poet whose work made use of various cultural traditions
This comprehensive work on Indian poetry is written for the student and the general reader as much as for the specialist.
