About the Author
Sir Edwin Arnold was a distinguished Victorian poet, journalist, and translator whose works brought Eastern philosophy and culture to Western audiences. Educated at Oxford, he served as a schoolmaster in India before becoming a prominent editor at The Daily Telegraph. His deep engagement with Buddhism and Indian literature culminated in his celebrated narrative poem that introduced many readers to the life of the Buddha. Arnold's elegant verse and cross-cultural sensitivity helped bridge literary traditions and fostered greater understanding between East and West during the height of the British Empire.
