Author Name: Narasanna; Dr. Lokesh Singh;
Abstract
This research paper analyzes the works of Sarojini Naidu, an iconic poet in Indian English literature whose poetry not only showcases Romantic elements but also offers a realistic portrayal of Indian society, culture, and the natural environment. Often hailed as the “Nightingale of India,” Naidu’s poetic voice captures the essence of her people’s lives, aspirations, and struggles. By highlighting themes such as gender roles, cultural identity, social issues, and patriotism, Naidu blends Romanticism with realism, grounding her poems in authentic depictions of Indian life. This paper explores how Naidu’s poetry reflects realism and positions her as a bridge between the Romantic and Realist traditions in Indian English literature.
