The Poetry of Subrahmanya Bharathi: Tradition and Modernity, edited by noted Indian author P.V. Laxmiprasad, is a curated collection of ten scholarly essays that delve into the life, works and enduring impact of Mahakavi Subrahmanya Bharathi. This critical anthology succeeds in weaving together diverse interpretations and themes to highlight Bharathi's poetic genius and revolutionary spirit. However, the volume is rich in tribute and admiration; it also exhibits some limitations in scholarly rigor and depth.
