Tentang Penulis

Sir Edwin Arnold (1832–1904) was an English poet and journalist, renowned for his contributions to the understanding of Asian religions at a time when the Western world was beginning to open its mind to Eastern philosophies. Arnold’s literary style was characterized by a rich and accessible narrative, often imbued with a sense of romanticism and a keen appreciation for the spiritual. His most famous work, ‘The Light of Asia’ (1879), is a poetic rendering of the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha, and it played a significant role in introducing Buddhism to a Western audience. Arnold’s passion for the East extended beyond Buddhism; his comprehensive ‘The Collected Works of Edwin Arnold: Buddhism & Hinduism Writings, Poetical Works & Plays’ reflects a scholarly engagement with Hindu texts, such as his poetic versions of the Indian epics ‘Mahabharata’ and ‘Ramayana’. His writings display an empathetic portrayal of the East, which was unusual for his time, and provide insights into the intersection of British literary culture with Asian religious traditions. Respected for his deep humanism and the universality of his themes, Arnold’s works remain significant as bridges between disparate cultures, emphasizing understanding and compassion across borders.
