Shelley and Nazrul: The Rebel Poets

This book is one of the first comparative studies written in English on English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 1822) and Bengali poet Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899 1976). These two poets belonged the age of oppression and unjust to the commoners and they revolted against all sorts of anarchy, tyranny and misrule, for the creation of a new world, where equality and peace would prevail, and oppression, exploitation and war would disappear forever. They covered an area of remarkable width and variety in literature. The volume focuses on Shelley and Nazrul s philosophy of life and their attitude towards love, nature, rebellion, optimism and universal humanity. This study will be a gripping read for students and scholars of comparative literature and cultural studies, as well as general readers.
