Description: Sandhya Songs of Twilight by Dhan Gopal Mukerji published by Paul Elder and Company, San Francisco, California, 1917. Hardcover. Errata slip inserted. Sandhya Songs of Twilight is a collection of poems written by Dhan Gopal Mukerji, published while Mukerji was a young student in California. The poems captured Mukerji's commitment to beauty while maintaining his sense of isolation and exile as an immigrant to the United States in the early 1900s. Mukerji struggle with cultural identity profoundly influenced his literary pursuits, and this book reflects the synthesis of his dual heritage, weaving the spiritual fabric of his native homeland with the literary forms he adopted from his adopted country. Scholars of post-colonial literature, enthusiasts of Indian philosophical thought, and everyday readers with an appreciation for cross-cultural literary endeavors will find this book a treasure to be cherished.
