Golden Threshold e-bog

First published in 1905, "e;The Golden Threshold"e; is a beautiful collection of Indic poetry by activist and poet Sarojini Naidu (1879- 1949). Contents include: "e;Folk Songs"e;, "e;Songs for Music"e;, and "e;Poems"e;. Naidu was a staunch proponent of women's emancipation, civil rights, and anti-imperialistic ideas, playing an important role in India's struggle for independence from colonial rule. Her work as a poet includes both children's poems and others written on more serious themes including patriotism, romance, and tragedy, earning her the sobriquet "e;Nightingale of India"e;. Her most famous work is "e;In the Bazaars of Hyderabad"e; (1912), which remains widely read to this day. Other notable works by this author include: "e;The Bird of Time: Songs of Life, Death & the Spring"e; (1912) and "e;Muhammad Jinnah: An Ambassador of Unity"e; (1919). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from 'Studies of Contemporary Poets' by Mary C. Sturgeon.
