Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Northeastern 1994-09-27 00:00:00 Binding: Hardcover NF. in NF dj dj in mylar 142 pages. 1st US edition. 8vo.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A Collection of eleven incisive and insightful essays on the plight of the Indian woman written by the celebrated Hindi poet Mahadevi Varma, recipient of the Padma Bhushan and Bharatiya Jnanpith Award. Priestess of the Chhayavadi School of poetry, Mahadevi Varma was also a prose writer par excellence. Tranaslated by Neera Kuckreja Sohoni, these essays examine the inequitable situation of the Indian woman from various perspectives and cover several parameters of the Indian woman's status ranging from the cultural and historical to the economic, civic, educational and legal. Written in the 1930s, they continue to be relevant even in the modern context. To what extent the present essays will inspire the reader to reflect further is impossible for me to say. But if the blurred outline of the Indian woman's frightfl conditions becomes somewhat clear in the light of these essays, compiling them will not then have been in vain.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. A classic of unmatched lyrical beauty by the 'modern Mira' For Mahadevi Varma, her animal companions were her chosen family. This family comes alive in Mahadevi's lyrical prose, depicting the animals' relationships with her, each other, and the human inhabitants of her home and her school. Rescued peacocks, squirrels, dogs, rabbits, and deer romp through these pages, each an unforgettable individual of many moods. Charming hand-drawn illustrations complement the delightful writing. Together, these portraits reveal an urban modernity permeated by nature. In this first-ever translation of a little-known classic, Ruth Vanita brilliantly captures Mahadevi's empathetic imagination, sparkling wit, and intense observation of detail. In her introduction, Vanita illuminates Mahadevi's feminist and literary legacy, her powerful indictment of human cruelty, and how her prose sprang from the fount of her feelings for animals.…
