This book explores the poetry of Rameshwar Lal Khandelwal ‘Tarun’, an eminent Hindi poet of our times. Khandelwal is a poet of diverse traits and shades. He combines the salient features of romanticism and modernism in his poetic art, and turn by turn he is a lyricist, a romantic, a social realist, a modernist, an imagist-cum-symbolist. He is studied here in all these aspects. The papers contained in the book have been written by well-known Indian scholars of English literature. There are already several critical studies by Hindi scholars, among whom Khandelwal lived and moved, but this is the only one by English scholars. Those who know Prof. Khandelwal will affirm that he had a sound knowledge of both Hindi and English poetics. Hence a critical study of his Hindi poetry by distinguished Indian scholars of English is very much desired. This critical study will, hopefully, add a fresh dimension to the Khandelwal scholarship and present the poet in a new perspective.
