Autorenporträt

Kalidasa, perhaps the most extraordinary of India's classical poets, composed seven major works: three plays, two epic poems and two lyric poems. According to legend, he lived at the end of the fourth century, and was one the 'nine jewels' in the court of the Gupta king Chandragupta II. Although very little is known about his life, Kalidasa's popularity has endured for centuries. Vinay Dharwadker is professor of comparative literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of Kabir: The Weaver's Songs (2003), and an editor of The Oxford Anthology of Modern Indian Poetry (1994) and The Norton Anthology of World Literature (2012). Most recently, he co-translated Mohan Rakesh's One Day in the Season of Rain with his wife Aparna Dharwadker.
