Description
Kabir is among the greatest figures in Indian religious and literary history. His writings include scathing attacks against superstition, empty ritualism and bigotry and these powerfully caught the popular imagination. Charlotte Vaudeville provides, in the first part of the book, Kabir's biography in history and legend, his context, and information about his use of language. The later parts contain excellent modern translations of his verses, as well as brief selections from the verses of his contemporaries. This volume is designed to provide all that is essential to understand and appreciate Kabir in English.
