Synopsis

Marsiya is an elegiac genre of poetry most popular in the Indian subcontinent and middle eastern culture. Meer Babar Ali Anis, born in 1803 in the provincial Faizabad, India, is considered the most influential poet of Marsiya in the Urdu literature. A lot of literary criticism has been directed towards his language, style and diction. However, little attention has been paid to the elements of story telling in his literature.

Dr. Farhat Nadir Rizvi, in her thoroughly researched work- "Meer Anis and the Art of Story Telling (Mir Anis aur Qissa Goi Ka Fan)" has highlighted this aspect of Mir Anis' poetry. With quotations from his Marsias and from other literary critics, she has put forward a comprehensive thesis, providing arguments and suggestions to guide readers in this direction. This book is an indispensible piece of Dr. Farhat Rizvi's work for the scholars interested in the study of Mir Anis in particular, and of Marsiya and the tradition of Story Telling in Urdu in general.
