I Too Have Some Dreams: N.M. Rashed and Modernism in Urdu Poetry

I Too Have Some Dreams explores N. M. Rashed’s career as a poet, which spans the last years of British India and the early decades of postcolonial South Asia. A. Sean Pue argues that Rashed’s poetry carved out a distinct role for literature in the maintenance of doubt, providing a platform for challenging the certainty of collective ideologies and opposing the evolving forms of empire and domination. This finely crafted study of Urdu's renowned modernist poet N.M. Rashed offers a timely contribution to global modernist studies and to modern South Asian literary history.
