  This book is a kind of journey which explores the love tradition across ages. Starting from the Petrarchan society where lover and the beloved were treated differently. It was a kind of master slave relationship. Beloved was treated like a star and the lover used to follow the star. Vidyapati was a kind of poet who was far ahead of his contemporaries and in his poems we can find different elements of love. This book presents a comparison of love tradition of Vidyapati and few British Poets. Love has always been a serious concern for poets. John Donne is a metaphysical poet who thinks that divinity and purity associated with love can be expressed only through the body whereas Shakespeare acknowledges that his mistress is not so beautiful like rose yet he loves her. His degree of love varies as if he has some metres to measure the intensity of love. This is one of the reasons that he is scared to reveal his relationship with his friend in public. Vidyapati understand such concerns and he has defined purely the tradition of love which will never ever end. He is a poet of fourteenth century but still today he is celebrated in different parts of India and abroad. This book opens the spirituality associated with love.
