Lalla Rookh : An Oriental romance by Thomas Moore

"Lalla Rookh: An Oriental romance" by Thomas Moore is a romantic work first published in 1817. The poem follows Princess Lalla Rookh, daughter of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, as she journeys to marry the King of Bukhara. Along the way, she falls in love with Feramorz, a poet in her entourage who entertains her with four enchanting tales. The work blends a frame narrative with interpolated poems set in sumptuous Eastern settings, exploring themes of love, disguise, and identity in a world of Persian splendor.
