Description
Renaissance, Translation and Poetry is a collection of literary essays by Bibhas Chand. The book examines a diverse range of literary works and themes across different periods and traditions. It studies the spirit of the Renaissance through Derozio's mind and work, and explores diverse aspects of translation within the Indian context. The volume also includes a close study of Rupert Brooke's war sonnets, marking the centenary of the First World War, and presents a feminist critique of Chaucer's beast-fable, The Nun's Priest's Tale. Furthermore, the book features analyses of writings by Rabindranath Tagore, including his little-known original English play King and Rebel. It investigates the emancipation from regionalism in Jayanta Mahapatra's poems Hunger and Dawn at Puri, offers an interpretation of Jibanananda Das's Banalata Sen, and explores the synthesis of philosophy and poetry in Sri Aurobindo's The Golden Light.
