First published in 1943, The Sceptred Flute Songs of India contains the complete poetical works of Indian poet and activist Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949). Naidu (1879-1949) was an Indian political activist and poet. She was a staunch proponent of women’s emancipation, civil rights, and anti-imperialistic ideas, playing an important role in India’s struggle for independence from colonial rule. Her work as a poet includes both children’s poems and others with more mature themes including patriotism, romance, and tragedy, earning her the sobriquet Nightingale of India . Her most famous work is In the Bazaars of Hyderabad (1912), which remains widely read to this day. Contents include: The Golden Threshold , Folk Songs , Songs for Music , Poems , The Bird of Time , Songs of Love and Death , Songs of the Springtime , Indian Folk-songs to Indian Tunes , Songs of Life , etc. A fantastic collection not to be missed by fans of Naidu’s seminal work. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from ‘Studies of Contemporary Poets’ by Mary C. Sturgeon.
