About this book
Epic love poems often share common thematic elements -love in union, love in separation, and love in reunion. Discover the common ground shared between Islamic Sufism and Hindu Bhaktism through their literary expressions. This book examines two classic love poems—The Story of Layla Majnun (written by Nezami in the Sufi tradition) and Gita Govinda (written by Jayadeva in the Hindu tradition)—and finds common experiences of love shared between these seemingly disparate cultures.
