About the author
Sir Edwin Arnold (1832–1904) was a distinguished English poet and journalist, renowned for his deep fascination with Asian religions and cultures. His literary prowess was marked by his unique ability to convey the complex philosophies and narratives of Asia to a Western audience through his eloquent verse and prose. Arnold's profound interest in Eastern spirituality culminated in his seminal work, 'The Light of Asia' (1879), an epic poem that renders the life and teachings of the Buddha in a richly accessible lyrical form, contributing significantly to the Western understanding of Buddhism at the time. While 'The Light of Asia' remains his most acclaimed piece, Arnold's literary corpus includes several other notable works that contemplate the intricacies of Hinduism and Buddhism. His efforts to bridge Eastern and Western thought and his scholarly approach to the subjects have earned him a place as a significant cultural intermediary in the annals of late 19th-century literature. Through his writings, Arnold played a pivotal role in stimulating the West's interest in Eastern religions, and his works continue to be referenced in studies of cross-cultural literary exchanges and religious discourse.
