Salsette and Elephanta: A Prize Poem is a work of poetry by the renowned Victorian writer, John Ruskin. The poem is a celebration of two islands off the coast of Mumbai, India - Salsette and Elephanta - which Ruskin visited during his travels in the region. In the poem, Ruskin describes the natural beauty of the islands, their rich cultural heritage, and the people who call them home. He also reflects on the impact of colonialism on the region and the need to preserve its unique identity. The poem was written in 1855 and won the Newdigate Prize, a prestigious award for poetry at Oxford University. It is a vivid and lyrical tribute to the beauty and complexity of India, as seen through the eyes of one of the most influential writers of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
