Anthology of Urdu Literature

"Poetry is the greatest literary expression of Urdu; it is certainly the one on which Urdu-speakers place most value. The poetic genre both most highly prized and most popular is that of the ghazal, or love poem. Major monographs on Urdu's love poets have been at the heart of Russell's scholarly work and their essence is distilled in this book. In just under sixty pages, Russell supplies us with an outstanding introduction to this complex and sophisticated art form. The book is well worth buying for these pages alone."Russell, Ralph is the author of 'Anthology of Urdu Literature' with ISBN 9781857544688 and ISBN 1857544684.
