Evaluating the literary genius of Muhammad Hasan Askari (1919–1978), Urdu’s first and perhaps finest literary critic, this book explores Askari’s work in the context of the cultural and political milieu of his time. Relying upon a variety of published and archival material—his regular short column Jhalkiyan, literary criticism, short stories, magazine and journal articles, commentaries, as well as correspondence with fellow critics and intellectuals—this comprehensive study, part literary biography and part Urdu intellectual history, will engage students and scholars of Urdu literature, comparative literature, cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in Muslim social and cultural history.
