From the introduction by the author: "To me, Ghalib is pre-eminently the greatest poet of the last century, of whom the Indo-Pakistan sub-continent should be justly proud. In fact, he is the last of the great classical poets of the undivided India, his superiors and forerunners being Ab'ul Faraj Runi, Mad'ud-i-Sa'ad-i-salman, Amir Khusraw and Mulla Fayzi." --Pg. ii. The author covers the historial context, family and personal life and trajectory of the poet, as well as reception of his Urdu and Persian poetry, his travels, philosophical positions and friendships, ending with detailed explorations of schools of poetry and Ghalib's particularities and strengths within a given poetic tradition. Poems are printed in their original language and discussion/commentary is in English.
