Book Description

About the Book:

Vrindavanlal Verma (1889-1969) was novelist, short story writer and playwright and his contribution to Hindi literature is of a pioneering nature. He was perhaps the first Hindi novelist to insist on the authenticity of historical events and life depicted in a novel. He wrote in the language of the people and made effective use of the folk idiom of Bundelkhand. Three decades before the anchalik movement gained ground in Hindi, Vrindavanlal Verma wove his novels around Bundelkhand and immortalized in them the historical cultural identity of the region.

The Agra University conferred D. Litt. (honoris causa) on him in 1985 and the President of India decorated him with Padmabhushan in 1965.

Author of over thirty novels, twenty plays and ten collections of short stories, Vridavanlal Verma is most remembered for his historical novels. This monograph is modest attempt to present him as a maker of modern Hindi literature, mainly to the non-Hindi readers.
