  • Unit-1 T. S. Eliot : Religious Poems
    UNIT-1 T. S. ELIOT : RELIGIOUS POEMS Structure 1.0 Objectives 1.1 Introduction 1.2 ‘A Song for Simeon’ 1.3 ‘Marina’ 1.4 Let us sum up 1.5 Review Questions 1.6 A Select Bibliography 1.0 Objectives The present unit aims at acquainting you with some of T.S. Eliot’s poems written after his confirmation into the Anglo-Catholic Church of England in 1927. With this end in view, this unit takes up a close reading of two of his ‘Ariel Poems’ and focuses on some traits of his religious poetry. 1.1 Introduction Thomas Stearns Eliot was born on 26th September, 1888 at St. Louis, Missouri, an industrial city in the center of the U.S.A. He was the seventh and youngest child of Henry Ware Eliot and Charlotte Champe Stearns. He enjoyed a long life span of more than seventy-five years. His period of active literary production extended over a period of forty-five years. Eliot’s Calvinist (Puritan Christian) ancestors on father’s side had migrated in 1667 from East Coker in Somersetshire, England to settle in a colony of New England on the eastern coast of North America. His grandfather, W.G. Eliot, moved in 1834 from Boston to St. Louis where he established the first Unitarian Church. His deep academic interest led him to found Washington University there. He left behind him a number of religious writings. Eliot’s mother was an enthusiastic social worker as well as a writer of caliber. His family background shaped his poetic sensibility and contributed a lot to his development as a writer, especially as a religious poet.

  • Gaur As 'Monument': the Making of an Archive and Tropes of Memorializing
    Gaur as ‘Monument’: The Making of an Archive and Tropes of Memorializing Parjanya Sen In his book The Ruins of Gour Henry Creighton, one of the first among a series of early English explorers to the site describes Gaur as ‘an uninhabited waste’, ‘concealed in deep jungle, and situated in one of the least civilized districts of the Bengal Presidency’.1 Describing the ruins in hyperbolic rhetoric, Creighton writes: In passing through so large an extent of formal grandeur, once the busy scene of men, nothing presents itself but these few remains. Trees and high grass now fill up the space, and shelter a variety of wild creatures, bears, buffaloes, deer, wild hogs, snakes, monkies, peacocks, and the common domestic fowl, rendered wild for want of an owner. At night the roar of the tiger, the cry of the peacock, and the howl of the jackals, with the accompaniment of rats, owls, and trouble-some insects, soon become familiar to the few inhabitants still in its neighbourhood.2 A similar rhetoric may be found in Fanny (Parlby) Parks’s description of Gaur in her memoirs. Parks travelled extensively in India during the 1830s. On visiting Gaur, she appears to have been delighted by these ‘picturesque’ ruins amidst a ‘country’ ‘remarkably beautiful’, and enamoured by the site, covered with the silk cotton tree, the date palm, and various other trees; and there was a large sheet of water, covered by high jungle grass, rising far above the heads of men who were on foot. On the clear dark purple water of a large tank floated the lotus in the wildest

  • Reconsidering Local History: Some Facts, Some Observations
    CHAPTER 31 Reconsidering Local History: Some Facts, Some Observations JAWHAR SIRCAR A Plea for Local History The bureaucratization of history in the twentieth century has led to its transformation into a more professional academic discipline, but a growing distinction thus developed between professionals and amateurs. The former, sacerdotal in outlook and superior in attitude, regarded the latter with disdain. They, in turn, felt resentment towards professionals who increasingly dominated a field of study the amateurs had once ruled. In the end, the bureaucratization of learning inevitably meant the exclusion of those who did not possess proper academic credentials.1 this was the candid opening sentence of a well-known American historian, but the tenor in which he continued was equally incisive and applies to academics per se, without pinpointing on History alone. ‘The bureaucratization of learning’, he said, ‘led in turn to growing estrangement between the broad educated public and the world of scholarship’, and scholars who tried to ‘bridge the widening gap between abstract thought and everyday existence’ were dismissed as journalists, popularizers, or hacks. Though quite unexpected from a formal historian, this was part of Theodore S. Hamerow’s address at the annual conference of the American Historical Association of 1988, held at Cincinnati. What the immediate provocation was for Hamerow to deliberately heat up the atmosphere in the post-Christmas chill is not known, but let us first hear him out. According to him, ‘historical research had been conducted for over two thousand years, not by professional scholars but by self-taught amateurs who had spent most of their lives in politics, warfare, theology, bureaucracy, 836 Jawhar Sircar journalism, or literature longer than in any other field of learning’.

  • Visualizing the Firingee, the Saheb and the Memsaheb on Bengal Temple Terracotta: the Articulation of a ‘Native Gaze’
    Visualizing the Firingee, the Saheb and the Memsaheb on Bengal Temple Terracotta: the Articulation of a ‘Native Gaze’ Satyasikha Chakraborty PhD Researcher, Rutgers University It is common knowledge that the premises of many South Asian Hindu temples are out of bounds for non-Hindus. Since it is not always possible to visually distinguish between Hindus and Muslims/Christians of Indian origin, the prohibition is often imposed specifically on non-Indians, especially whites. We can speculate that in popular imagination, white people are perhaps stereotyped as ‘more impure’ due to their different cleaning habits in addition to their consumption of ‘forbidden’ foods like beef and alcohol. So, in the Jagannath, Lingaraj, Kashi-Vishwanath and several other Hindu temples, foreigners, particularly whites, are debarred from entering. However, if we come to Bengal, in several far-flung villages, we are confronted with the curious spectacle of white people carved on the terracotta panels of local temples of popular and much revered deities like Shiv and Radha-Gobindo! This brief article seeks to understand the very surprising practice in the early colonial period of inscribing firingees, sahebs and memsahebs on the walls of sacred sites, the ‘abodes of the Gods’, though the actual physical entry into these consecrated spaces was bound by the rules of ritual purification and various categories of the ‘unclean’- non-Hindus, low castes, menstruating women - were forbidden to enter the sanctum sanctorum. The walls of the early modern temples of Bengal provided a canvas to the local terracotta artists not only for displaying the iconography of popular deities, mythical and semi-divine figures, but also for visually recording contemporary rural social life.

Jesus was not asked to lend anything for this exhibition – ‘as most of our manuscripts are of the working kind and not elaborately decorated’. Some of the college manuscripts, however, do have illuminations. A 13th century Holy Bible in the college’s collection (Q.A.11: no. 11 in M. R. James’ 1895 catalogue) not only has beautiful writing but ‘historiated initials of more than usual interest’. So that readers can see something of what the Fitzwilliam has missed, this year’s Annual Report carries a number of illustrations taken from that Bible.

Arch Student, National Institute of Technology Raipur, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. Email: [email protected] 2Professor, Department of Architecture, National Institute of Technology Raipur, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Three major developments in religious architecture were seen in three different eras of Bengal’s history – evolution of Nagara style temples which were influenced by the Orissan Rekha deuls, followed by the developments of Islamic Architecture through mosques and tombs, and lastly, the generation of Terracotta Temples. The Terracotta Temples of Bengal, famous for the use of Terracotta Plaques for surface decoration, had developed a unique style of architecture, quite distinct from the major styles of temple architecture that was prevailing in India. This paper intends to find out which architectural features of the Terracotta Temples got influenced and how they got influenced from the prevailing architectural styles. Keywords: Terracotta Temples, influence, architectural features, Islamic architecture, Pre-Islamic architecture. INTRODUCTION 1.1 RELIGIOUS ARCHITECTURE OF BENGAL The region of Bengal consisting of present day West Bengal, Bangladesh, and some Bengali speaking areas of Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, and Tripura (R.C. Majumdar, 1971) had witnessed development of a drastic divergent style of temple architecture. The initial phases (till 1200 A.D.) showed the development of typical Nagara style temples, while in the ‘Late medieval period’ (McCutchion, 2004) the temples started developing unique and distinct architectural characteristics.

  • Terracotta Temples of Bishnupur: Transformation Through Time and Technology Priyanka Mangaonkar
    Terracotta Temples of Bishnupur: Transformation through Time and Technology Priyanka Mangaonkar Rashmancho, Bishnupur Introduction Clay can be considered as one of the oldest building materials in the history of man after stone. Clay was and is being used for all conceivable purposes due to its abundance and universal supply. The discovery of baking clay provided the permanence to the clay objects. This baked clay is called as Terracotta. All over the world, across the ages people have transformed this heavy, dark and formless material into a lighter building material. They created their living spaces and they adapted their architectural and constructive answers according to the behavior and properties of the soil. The use of Terracotta as a material evolved from making objects of daily needs like vessels, pottery, toys, seals etc in ancient times to its use in temples in the 15th-16th century AD in West Bengal. Until this period Stone was the main material used for building temples. This was due to unavailability of the stone and availability of good alluvial soil, and the need to create pseudo effect, e.g. in West Bengal terracotta was used to depict stone carvings and sometimes to resemble the articulation on wooden door. In the same period, from 15th to early 20th century terracotta was used as cheaper and easily available option for marble in some parts of Europe.

  • Comparative Literature in India: an Overview of Its History
    Comparative Literature in India: An Overview of its History Subha Chakraborty Dasgupta, Jadavpur University Abstract: The essay gives an overview of the trajectory of Comparative Literature in India, focusing pri- marily on the department at Jadavpur University, where it began, and to some extent the department of Modern Indian Languages and Literary Studies in the University of Delhi, where it later had a new be- ginning in its engagement with Indian literatures. The department at Jadavpur began with the legacy of Rabindranath Tagore’s speech on World Literature and with a modern poet-translator as its founder. While British legacies in the study of literature were evident in the early years, there were also subtle efforts towards a decolonizing process and an overall attempt to enhance and nurture creativity. Gradually Indian literature began to receive prominence along with literatures from the Southern part of the globe. Paradigms of approaches in comparative literary studies also shifted from influence and analogy studies to cross-cultural literary relations, to the focus on reception and transformation. In the last few years Comparative Literature has taken on new perspectives, engaging with different ar- eas of culture and knowledge, particularly those related to marginalized spaces, along with the focus on recovering new areas of non-hierarchical literary relations. Keywords: decolonizing process, creativity, cross-cultural literary relations, interdisciplinarity The beginnings Long before the establishment of Comparative Literature as a discipline, there were texts focus- ing on comparative aspects of literature in India, both from the point of view of its relation with litera- tures from other parts of the world—particularly Persian, Arabic and English—and from the perspec- tive of inter-Indian literary studies, the multilingual context facilitating a seamless journey from and between literatures written in different languages.

  • Interconnecting Archival and Field Data in Reference to Late Medieval Jor-Bangla Temples of Bengal
    Towards an Understanding of Cultural Biography of Monuments: Interconnecting Archival and Field Data in Reference to Late Medieval Jor-Bangla Temples of Bengal By Mrinmoyee Ray Research Scholar Department of History of Art National Museum Institute of History of Art, Conservation and Museology New Delhi India 1 Late medieval period of Bengal history is not only unique in terms of witnessing of the Bhakti movement ushered in by Sri Chatitanya, but also because of the tremendous proliferation in temple building activity in this region which followed. Bengal in this context refers to present day state of West Bengal in India combined with Bangladesh, which was then referred to as the Subah-e- Bangal under the Mughal administration. The reason for such inclusion is to discuss the common stylistic development of temple architecture of this region during the temporal framework dating from 16th century CE to 19th century CE. Even though the early phases of development of temple architecture of this region does show influence of architecture from Orissa, with the Muslim dominion of Bengal there did occur some fundamental shifts in terms of design, material and techniques of construction of these temples. The Islamic rulers introduced their distinctive architectural techniques like dome and arches which were favourably accepted even in the construction of the temples of this region; thereby giving the temples a unique indigenous regional character in terms of the designs mainly inspired by the domestic hut of Bengal. The styles further developed into many sub types like the Chala, Ratna, Jor-Bangla and many more. The process of documenting these temples of this region began as early as 19th century itself by institutions like Archaeological Survey of India and individuals like James Fergusson1 who primarily took measurements, drew illustrations, ground plan and also took photographs.
