Indian writing in English, especially fiction, continues to capture
the attention of readers all over the English-speaking world.
Conversely, the strong and flourishing tradition of poetry in English
from India has not impacted the contemporary world in the same manner
as the fiction. This book creates a debate to highlight the
well-grounded and confident tradition of Indian Poetry in English
which began almost two hundred years ago with the advent of the British.
Individual essays on poets before and since the Indian Independence
focus on the poetry of Derozio, Tagore, Aurobindo and Naidu right down
to the modern and contemporary poets like Ezekiel, Mahapatra,
Ramanujan, Kolatkar, Das, Moraes, Daruwalla, de Souza, Jussawalla and
Patel who ushered in a change both in terms of subject matter and style.
On either side of the Atlantic, this book which includes a substantial
Introduction, Select Bibliography and Index is of value to scholars,
teachers and researchers on Indian Poetry in English.
