The first major flowering of Urdu literature occurred in the eighteenth century, during a time of widespread violence and disaster in which the great feudal lords of the Mughal Empire were struggling to gain control of the empire. This book presents the work of three great Urdu poets, all of whom lived in or near Delhi during this tumultuous time. Considering the satires of Sauda, the masnavi (narrative poems) of Mir Hasan, and the ghazal love poems of Mir, this new edition of a book long out of print will be a valuable collection for those interested in Mughal culture.
