.. admonition:: Book Description

  *I Too Have Some Dreams* explores the work of N. M. Rashed, Urdu's
  renowned modernist poet, whose career spans the last years of British India
  and the early decades of postcolonial South Asia. A. Sean Pue argues that
  Rashed’s poetry carved out a distinct role for literature in the maintenance
  of doubt, providing a platform for challenging the certainty of collective
  ideologies and opposing the evolving forms of empire and domination. This
  finely crafted study offers a timely contribution to global modernist studies
  and to modern South Asian literary history.

   “This is a tour de force in the study of Urdu literary history. Pue’s study is beautifully crafted, thoughtfully argued, and meticulously researched. This is one of the best studies of N.M. Rashed’s life and poetry available.”
