This volume comprises a selection of the essays and writings of Syed Naqi Husain Jafri dealing with a wide variety of themes. The topics range from the ghazal as a form of nonconformist poetry to Hispano-Arabic strains in English poetry, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and the Urdu-Hindi controversy, as well as a contemporary critique of madrasa education.
This volume is an important compliment (and corrective) to much of current writing insofar as there is a concern for topics beyond the realm of the humanities, thus indicating the need for a broader consensus and a broader view of history and society, and the manner in which literature, language and education bear upon each other. Jafri’s depth of analysis and range includes other areas of interest as well, such as the evolution of non-European literary theory and its critique, Sufic themes in Awadhi and Hindavi poetry.
The Author
Late Dr Syed Naqi Husain Jafri (17 April 1947 – 9 December 2007) was an alumnus of the Aligarh Muslim University, and taught English at the, Lucknow Christian College and Anwar-ul Ulum College, Hyderabad before joining the Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, which he served for about three decades (1982-2007), and which saw the fruition of his intellectual ideas. His publications include Aspects of Drayton’s Poetry (1988), Kochh Mashriq Se Kochh Maghrib Se (Of the Orient and the Occident)-a collection of essays in Urdu (1993) and an edited volume Critical Theory: Perspectives from Asia (2004). An omnibus of his Urdu writings entitled Ahd-e Wusta ka Hindustan: Muslim Thaqafat, Tassawuf aur Adab (Muslim Civilization, Sufism and Literature in Medieval India) was published posthumously in 2009. His articles have been published in The Literary Criterion, Islam and the Modern Age, The Book Review, The Times of India and The Hindu.

‘This work is undoubtedly a valuable contribution and it is based on and reflective of the author’s complete mastery over a wide range of sources which no serious scholar of early Medieval Indian historiography can afford to ignore.’— TABIR KALAM, The Book Review
