About :
- Jayshankar Prasad was an eminent Hindi poet and dramatist. He was born in Varanasi in 1890 in the rich family of Sunghani Sahu. Prasad‘s first compositions in verse were in Brajbhasha in the form of ‘Samasya-purti‘. Most of his early writings were traditional in theme and craft and were published in the monthly ‘Indu‘ which he himself later edited. His first work is Chitradhar, a collection of poems, short stories, plays and essays, followed by Kanan–kusam, Prem–pathik and Karunalaya (lyrical dramas). Then he turned to Khariboli and gave a new direction to Hindi poetry. The publication of Jharna (1918) augurs romantic poetry and with it dawns the ‘chhayavad-yug‘ in Hindi literature.
