1. INTRODUCTION ; 7. YOUNG WOMEN SPEAK TO THEIR FEMALE FRIENDS
Martha Ann Selby is Assistant Professor of South Asian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
"It is not usual to produce a book sure to charm a general reader
and a specialist alike, but this is exactly what has been achieved:
a delightful treat for any lover of lyrical poetry, a scholarly
contribution to the understanding of the culture of ancient India,
an insider's companion to Pan-Indian classical love lyric, all
ready in one volume."--The Journal of Asian Studies
"The two hundred poems in the book are drawn from the three great
languages of India, and each is culled from a classical anthology
put together by a king or courtly connoisseur....Martha Ann Selby
[is] a sensitive and learned guide to the treasures of classical
Indian love poetry. Great riches are compacted between the covers
of this book."--Persimmon
