Book synopsis

Laurence Hope (1865-1904) was one of the most popular poets of the Edwardian era. Born Adela 'Violet' Cory, her unconventional (and ultimately tragic) life in India lent her verse an oriental glamour that immediately captured the public imagination. Her poems (known collectively as the Indian Love Lyrics) deal mostly with the subject of 'love' - romantic, erotic, frustrated or forbidden. Their passionate themes and colourful imagery are often inspired by Sufi and Mughal courtly poetry, by Indian myth and folklore, and by Hope's own travels and experiences in India and North Africa. This edition comprises three separate volumes - The Garden of Kama and Other Love Lyrics from India (1901), Stars of the Desert (1903) and the posthumously published Indian Love (1905).
