520			_aWhile love may have its varied and various manifestations, Dr. S.N. Singh confines his discussion only to its Eros aspect, which means sexual desire that exists for its mutual fulfilment between the sexes. Unless killed or conquered, it's always the conqueror, for, as Dr. S.N. Singh studies its nature, the passion once ignited by the beauty of the fair sex and the exposure of her erotic zones, it does not rest until it is manifested and fulfilled. The rhetorical question-"Whoever loved that loved not at first sight?"- is well answered here. Commenting on the texts, Dr. Singh argues here that while such a manifestation of love must station itself, for its perpetuation and precreation, in the institution of marriage, it should also occasionally restrain its passionate intensity for its aesthetic manifestation and glorification that may lead the lovers upwards and onwards. The study thus reaffirms the universal realization that love is a passion of the body and mind, that the satisfaction of the one at the cost of the other is destructive and dangerous, and that constancy and chastity binding on both the partners ensure successful and sweet manifestations of love. But as the book unfolds itself petal by petal, it identifies poverty as a demon that devours the lovers, especially women. The study, therefore, pleads for their economic independence, social dignity and sexual liberty in love, making their position gynecocntric rather than androcentric. The book is expected to please and profit the general as well as the critical reader, and cater to the need of the students of English literature.
