Emotions for other fellow beings, nature and self have been expressed by man in various creative forms. As man is creative in nature and has always expressed his emotions through music, art, philosophy and literature. Thus, literature the art of written word acts as the reflection of an authors’ mind. So through literature one can go deep into the mind of an author and understand the dynamics of his mind. This idea is applied in the method of psychoanalytic literary criticism. It refers to literary criticism which, in method, concept, theory, or form, is influenced by the tradition of psychoanalysis formulated by Sigmund Freud. The objective of psychoanalytic literary criticism is the psychoanalysis of the author reflected through the characters he has created.

Poetry is a form of literature that 20th century. It is an extrinsic approach which consists of the uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such as application of some psychological values to the study of phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and meter—to evoke literature. Psychoanalytic criticism of literature focuses on the meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible writer's psyche and the study of mental processes of creation; meaning. It is a verbal composition designed to convey it focuses on the psychological types and principles within experiences, ideas, or emotions in a vivid and imaginative way, literary works, or the effects of literature upon its readers.

  • Western Influences on the Three Bengali Poets of the 30S Sultana Jahan
    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences (IJELS) Vol-3, Issue-2, Mar - Apr, 2018 https://dx.doi.org/10.22161/ijels.3.2.6 ISSN: 2456-7620 Western Influences on the three Bengali Poets of the 30s Sultana Jahan Assistant Professor, Department of English Language and Literature, International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh Abstract— Modernism came to exercise an influence in Bangladesh's poets in the way it once did with Baudelaire and Eliot. For these western poets, the romantic notion was replaced with desperation and despondency and loneliness of modern minds. JibanadaDas, Budda Dev Bose, shudindranath Dutt, Amiochacrabarti, and Bishnudey, all of them being the professors of English Literature, successfully incorporated Western Modernist outlook with a view to shaking off Tagore’s romantic perception.They were much influenced by French imagist and symbolist movement, French surrealist poets, Garman expressionist poets and other modernists. Sometimes they incorporates Eatsian ideology, sometimes they followed Eliotic view, and sometimes they followed Marxist Theory or Freudian psychoanalysis. Though, these modernist poets take on different styles and ways to reveal the alienation, hypocrisy and anxiety of modern man, they perceive the fact that to reflect the post-war modern world, there is no alternative of discarding romantic notion about life. This paper will shed light on three poets, Jibananda Das, AmioCakrabarti, and BishnuDey and the Western Modernist philosophy that has molded their poetic career. Keywords— creative violence, impressionism, surrealism, agnosticism. “The practice of Rabindranath is poetry became unsuccessful to give solace to the mind of Bengali poets. At least, a few important Bengali poets tried to step aside and avoid Rabindranath and welcomed the positive or negative vision of Mallarme, Paul Verlaine, Rossenr, Yeats or Eliot.” (Das, Kabitar Katha, p.

  • Bengal Lights
    ASIATIC, VOLUME 3, NUMBER 1, JUNE 2009 Clinton B. Seely, Barisal and Beyond: Essays on Bangla Literature . New Delhi: Chronicle Books, 2008. 322pp. ISBN 81-8028-036-5. The author of this book is the protagonist of a charming inter-cultural romance. He is one of fewer than a handful of living Westerners who fortuitously fell in love with Bengali literature and made a distinguished career of teaching it – at the University of Chicago in his case. A major in Botany from Stanford, he volunteered for the Peace Corps and spent a year and nine months (1963-65) training high school science teachers in Barisal, in present-day Bangladesh. In the process he picked up Bangla (or Bengali) and, through the desultory chitchat that Bengalis call adda , gathered some idea about the greatest writer in the language, Rabindranath Tagore. At the end of his stint he enrolled for a PhD at the Department of South Asian Languages and Civilisations, University of Chicago and discovered Bengal’s greatest modern poet, whose hometown was his familiar Barisal. His thesis, published as A Poet Apart: A Literary Biography of the Bengali Poet Jibanananda Das (1889-1954) , won him West Bengal’s most prestigious literary award. His other publications include three translated volumes, of which the one of Michael Madhusudan Datta’s epic, The Slaying of Meghnada: A Ramayana from Colonial Bengal , got him the A.K. Ramanujan Book Prize for Translation. The present volume is a mixed bag of essays and lectures covering a number of significant aspects of Bengali literature. Though the focus is predominantly on modern or post-Plassey literature, Seely’s grasp of the earlier traditions of Bengali writing is palpable in several essays.

  • Translation As Transcreation: a Study of Selected Poems of Jibanananda Das
    JAST © 2015 M.U.C.Women’s College, Burdwan ISSN 2395-4353 -a peer reviewed multidisciplinary research journal Vol.-01, Issue- 01 Translation as Transcreation: A Study of Selected Poems of Jibanananda Das Joyanta Dangar Department of English M.U.C. Women’s College, Burdwan West Bengal, India E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Jibanananda Das, a poet of the post-Tagore era in Bengal, composed volumes of poetry, from which some representative poems such as “I have seen the face of Bengal,” “Banalata Sen,” and “One Day Eight Years Ago” have been selected for the present study. To capture the “harmonic cadences” arising from employment of different types of rhyme and figures of speech in Das’s poetry is a challenge for his translators. Besides, considerations of form and the art of conveying Das’s sense of history of India when the target audience is non- Indian are equally challenging. However, some gains in the form of transcreation may be considered compensations for inevitable losses incurred in course of translation. Key words: Mosaic rhyme, hyperbaton, “ambiguity,” target reader, linguistic equivalence, untranslatability, sense of history The act of translation is voluntary, that is the material has been chosen by the translator himself and the prime mover is to recreate it. —Meenakshi Mukherjee, “Transposition of Culture.” Cygnus 2: 2(1981) Jibanananda Das (1899-1954) was a modern Bengali poet writing in the twentieth century. Acknowledged as the leading poet of the post-Tagore era, Das wrote ceaselessly, but only seven volumes of his poetry were published during his lifetime. An introvert, he never came to the limelight: one of his contemporary poets, Buddhadeb Bose called him the “loneliest of poets.” Among major collections of his poetry are Beautiful Bengal (Rupasi Bangla; 1934, Pub.

Debenranath was leader of the Brahmo Samaj, which was a new religious sect in 19th century Bengal and which attempted a revival of the ultimate monistic basis of Hinduism as laid down in the Upanishads. He was educated at home; and although at seventeen he was sent to England for formal schooling, he did not finish his studies there. In his mature years, in addition to his many-sided literary activities, he managed the family estates, a project which brought him into close touch with common humanity and increased his interest in social reforms. As a patriot, he composed the music and lyrics for India’s national anthem “Jana-Gana--Mana” [Thou Art the Ruler of All Minds] and when Bangladesh became independent in 1971 they chose Tagore’s song “Amar Sonar Bangla” [My Golden Bengal] as its national anthem.

  • From Gitanjali to Song Offerings: Interrogating the Politics of Translation in the Light of Colonial Interaction
    From Gitanjali to Song Offerings: Interrogating the Politics of Translation in the Light of Colonial Interaction Urmi Sengupta1 In English prose there is a magic which seems to transmute my Bengali verses into something which is original again in a different manner. Therefore, it not only satisfies me but gives me delight to assist my poems in their English birth....Fundamental idea is the same, but the vision changes. A poem can only be relived in a different atmosphere (Mitra 390) The above mentioned lines quoted from a letter of Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) addressed to D. J. Anderson spell out beautifully the nuances of the role played by Tagore as a translator of his collection of Bangla geeti-kavita titled Gitanjali (1910) into English prose. Song Offerings (also containing a few selected poems from nine of his earlier collections of poetry Gitimalya, Kalpana, Chaitali, Kheya, Naivedya, Shishu, Achalayatan , Utsarga and Swaran ) which was first published by Indian Society, London in November, 1912 and later by Macmillan and Company, London in March, 1913 received unprecedented appreciation in the West and had already been reprinted ten times within a span of a few months before it was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in November,1913. Of the two main standpoints that strive to explain this high acclaim for Song Offerings in the target language-culture , one is enunciated clearly by the Nobel Committee of 1913 in their citation which declares “Because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the 1 Urmi Sengupta is working as a Junior Research Scholar in the Department of Comparative Literature, Jadavpur University, Kolkata and pursuing PhD from the same.

    Dr. Chitra Jha Assistant Professor Dept of English PG SECOND SEMESTER CC 5 RABINDRANATH TAGORE’S THE HOME-COMING Introduction to the Author: Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was the youngest son of Debendranath Tagore, a leader of the Brahmo Samaj, which was a new religious sect in nineteenth-century Bengal and which attempted a revival of the ultimate monistic basis of Hinduism as laid down in the Upanishads. He was educated at home; and although at seventeen he was sent to England for formal schooling, he did not finish his studies there. In his mature years, in addition to his many-sided literary activities, he managed the family estates, a project which brought him into close touch with common humanity and increased his interest in social reforms. He also started an experimental school at Shantiniketan where he tried his Upanishadic ideals of education. From time to time he participated in the Indian nationalist movement, though in his own non-sentimental and visionary way; and Gandhi, the political father of modern India, was his devoted friend. Tagore was knighted by the ruling British Government in 1915, but within a few years he resigned the honour as a protest against British policies in India. Tagore had early success as a writer in his native Bengal. With his translations of some of his poems he became rapidly known in the West. In fact his fame attained a luminous height, taking him across continents on lecture tours and tours of friendship. For the world he became the voice of India’s spiritual heritage; and for India, especially for Bengal, he became a great living institution.
