Abstract

Annamarie Schimmel was a renowned orientalist. Her main claim to fame is her life-long interest in Sufi tradition of Islam. She was well versed in many eastern languages including Pakistan’s national language-Urdu. She studied Urdu literature in depth. Her book “Classical Urdu Literature from the beginning to Iqbal” is a true example of her deep understanding and interest in Urdu. Despite shortcomings, this book is a valuable addition to Urdu by a foreigner. She elaborated Urdu’s classical poetry and proved her much appreciated literary acumen regarding 18th and 19th century Urdu literature. This book primarily is a portrayal of Urdu literature for Western readers.
