Synopsis

Sri Aurobindo composed Love and Death , a narrative poem in blank verse based on a theme from the Mahabharata, in 1899 while in Baroda. Written in "a white heat of inspiration", it "bore already the impress of the future poet and prophet". This book contains the original poem, relevant letters of Sri Aurobindo, a study by Amita Sen dealing especially with "the cohesiveness of the narration and the enrichment brought to the Sanskrit version" which inspired it, and several literary criticisms by other authors.
