"Poetry of kings: the classical Hindi literature of Mughal India" by Allison Busch, Oxford University Press, 2011. xx + 339 pp. reviewd by Ghanshyam Sharma

Résumé

Minor diacritical inconsistencies aside, Poetry of Kings is a superbly drafted masterpiece on pre-modern Hindi poetry. It will undoubtedly prove to be essential reading not only for those Western scholars who wish to concentrate their efforts on a better understanding of rīti poetry, but also to the body of Hindi scholars in India who for different reasons have totally abandoned any serious study of classical Hindi poetry. Busch authoritatively demonstrates that she knows the trees as well as the wood of Braj poetry. With her extraordinary knowledge of the rīti genre, Busch has laid down major claims in the field of the history of Hindi literature, which require serious scholarly attention in order to be fully appreciated. The Hindi literary community will undoubtedly be delighted to receive other volumes by Busch on related topics in the field of medieval Hindi literature.
