Overview

Excerpt from Transactions and Report of the Royal Society of Literature of the United Kingdom, 1919, Vol. 37 This neglect Of modern vernacular poetry is not confined to Europe. In India itself, some people are accustomed to think that classical poetry is the only poetry worth cultivating. Whereas there are many translations and adaptations Of the Older dramas, many editions and commentaries on the Old devotional poetry and the Old philosophical books of India, there are very few translations, even from one Indian vernacular into another, Of the modern products Of the Indian mind. The vernacular literatures have not yet found their fitting place in the centres Of learning. There are scarcely any vernacular libraries, if we mean by a library not a haphazard collection Of books, but an organised unit housed with loving care, catalogued for the benefit Of students and of learned men and women, near and far, and endowed with a life and growing activity Of which we can be proud.
