The book consisting of nine essays, deals with a variety of themes in relation to different literary forms in English and Hindi. The first two articles aims at discussing succinctly two issues of international importance, viz. Feminism and censorship. The next two are an attempt to examine the poetics of two illustrious poets of two different nations and times, i.e. Sri Aurobindo of India of the first half of the twentieth century and Robert Duncan belonging to America of the second half of the preceding century. Then there are two critical pieces on the celebrated Indian English poetess, Sarojini Naidu. The waning reputation of most influential prose writer and prophet of the nineteenth-century England, Thomas Carlyle, gets a serious consideration in the seventh article of this collection. The last two essays of the volume are devoted to two outstanding Hindi writers of two different periods-Bihari, a truly representative poet of the later Medieval India, Jayashankar Prasad, the most versatile and significant literary luminary of the twentieth century. Obviously, the book treats a wide range of subject matter, and therefore will be interesting and stimulating to a large reading public as well as academics both in India and abroad.
