Synopsis

Humor, song and portrait from a colonial era

Discover a lively collection of humorous pieces, parodies and lyrical portraits drawn from British India. This edition gathers sharp satire, playful verse and vivid character sketches that illuminate a complex era with wit and warmth. The book presents a mosaic of voices—from light comic songs to pointed parodies and reflective laments—giving readers a window into 19th-century life, politics and culture through verse and lyrics. It blends humor with history, offering both entertainment and a historical echo of the period.

• A range of humorous poems and parodies that poke fun at people, places and events of the time.
• Character portraits and vivid scenes, including soldiers, officials and everyday figures abroad in India
• Translations and original pieces that showcase the rhythmic and musical qualities of the era’s writing
• A sense of the social and political milieu that shaped British India, rendered with narrative charm and satire

Ideal for readers of historical verse, colonial-era humor, and literary portraiture, who enjoy a brisk, engaging taste of the past.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Indian Poems which compose the first part of this little Volume, are reprinted from the Allahabad Pioneer, with the exception of one, The Prizes and Dispossessed Zemindar, which appeared in the Delhi Gazette. The stereotyped request of friends is wanting as an excuse for their publication; but I can say with truth, that I was only induced to think of publishing them in this form, from the great number of applications which I received from total strangers in all parts of India for copies of the Verses either in print or MS. The other Poems in the collection are selections from the best of a considerable number which appeared at intervals in various Indian and English publications, and were favorably received at the time.
