Description
More Dak dicta is a fascinating collection of verses composed by Wilmot Corfield during his residence in Calcutta spanning from 1894 to 1910. This hardcover volume captures the literary output of a writer deeply immersed in the cultural and social landscape of British India during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.
The verses offer unique insights into life in Calcutta during this pivotal period, reflecting on the experiences, observations, and sentiments of an Englishman living through significant historical changes. The poetry touches on themes of colonial life, cultural encounters, and personal reflections on the subcontinent.
Originally published during the height of the British Raj, this edition serves as both a literary work and a historical document, providing readers with authentic perspectives on Anglo-Indian society and Calcutta’s evolving character at the turn of the 20th century. It represents valuable source material for scholars of colonial literature, Indian history, and Victorian-era poetry.
