India's Love Lyrics by Laurence Hope

"India's Love Lyrics" by Laurence Hope is a collection of lyric poetry published in 1901. Written by Adela Florence Nicolson under a male pseudonym, the poems were presented as translations from Indian poets. Drawing on imagery from North-West Frontier poets and Persian Sufi traditions, the verses explore themes of unrequited love and loss. Initially praised by prominent poets including Thomas Hardy, the collection sparked debate about authenticity before being revealed as original Western works inspired by Sufi poetry.
