Toru Dutt is one of the distinguished authors in Indian English literature. There is hardly another Indian author having written in English who is so regularly remembered in the journals and newspapers of the country and abroad. She was the first ‘major’ Indian English author who forcefully interpreted the soul of India to the west, and thereby acted as a bridge between the East and the West. Her wonderful creative works place her Country on the international map of letters.

This book has already undergone two successive editions, but a third edition has become unavoidable because of the persistent demand of the academic circle that needs a comprehensive critique on Toru Dutt and her Ancient Ballads and Legends of Hindustan.

For this edition, the book has been thoroughly revised and slightly enlarged. The sixth chapter “Toru Dutt and Sarojini Naidu: A Comparative Approach has been added to it for the benefit of readers and scholars.
