Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poetry Of Kamala Das Is A Sort Of Psychic Striptease. She Explores Her Psychic Geography With An Exceptional Female Energy And The Capability To Express Her Inimitable Vision Through The Technique Of Sincerity. The Quest For An Emotional Liaison And Her Failure To Establish One Is The Central Burden Of Her Poetry. From The Thematic Standpoint Her Poetry Originates From A Dark End And Performs, In Turn, A Curative Function. The Limited Range Of Her Experience May Account For Her Thematic Staisis But It Turns Out To Be Too Marginal A Point If We Consider The Fire Of Her Creativity. Her Typical Feminine Sensibility And The Confessional Mode Have Been Explored Through Her Obsessive Images, Symbols And The Frank Disarming Manner. With Her Insistence On Self, On Approaching Love With Love And Her Crying When Jilted In It, She Creates The Type Of Poetic Form Which May Adequately Be Called Expressive . In Her Urge To Take A Flight In A Different World And Give A Full Throated Expression To Her Indigenous Self She Projects Her Distinct Individuality. Kamala Das Composes The Raga Of Self In Her Poetry, A Symphony Of The Discordant Notes Of Life.

Mrs. Das, Who Received No Formal Education, No Pompous University Degree, Stands On Her Own Merit And Is Placed On The Pinnacle Of Reputation And Distinction Among Indo-English Poets Of Today. Her Scintillating Verse Has That Irresistible Force And Tilting Rhythm In It Which Captures The Reader S Attention Immediately. The Reader Often Feels That He Is In The Presence Of A Writer Who Is Highly Gifted And Skilful, Largely Emotional And Subjective, And Who Is Ever Celebrating The Charms Of The Body And The Hungers Of The Sex, Without Getting Him Bored Even For A While.

The Present Book Endeavours To Combine Biography And Criticism And Makes A Critical-Analytical Study Of Mrs. Das S Verse To Date. It Is Not So Much A Chronological Survey Of Her Literary Output As An Investigation Into The Aspects Of Her Poetry. There Are Already Books, Articles And Reviews On Kamala Das, But This One Is Unique In Evaluating Her Poetic Worth In The Light Of Her Work And In Ascertaining Her Position Amongst Contemporary Indo-English Poets. This May Well Claim To Be The First Of Its Kind In Making A Pointed Approach To Diverse Subjects Of Her Verse, To Her Being A Confessional Poet, To Her Conspicuous Tragic Vision Of Art, And In Critically Examining Some Of Her Significant Poems And In Undertaking An Appraisal Of Her Novel, Alphabet Of Lust (1976), And Of Her Prose Works. It Is, Thus, Designed For The Benefit Of The Teachers Of English Literature And The Taught Alike.

Download or read book INDIAN POETRY IN ENGLISH CRITICAL ESSAYS written by ZINIA MITRA and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian poets who wrote in English—a small middle class minority—were divided from the regional language poets by more than language for long. The English poets had a selected readership, were known unto themselves, in academic circles if they were widely published, but were looked down upon with a kind of derision by regional writers. However, the scenario has changed now. From English being spurned as a colonizer’s tongue that was nobody’s language, it has now become everybody’s language with English medium schools, English movies, ads, soaps and serials. For a generation living in a global village, genuine readership and appreciation of English poetry is no longer an encumbrance. This book, in its second edition, continues to educate the students with diverse and thought-provoking essays that vary from personal to argumentative to objectively discursive English literature and to those who are genuinely interested in Indian English poetry. The Fourteen poets selected in this anthology are Michael Madhusudan Dutt, Toru Dutt, Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghosh, Sarojini Naidu, Jibanananda Das, Nissim Ezekiel, Jayanta Mahapatra, A.K. Ramanujan, Arun Kolatkar, Rajagopal Parthasarathy, Kamala Das, and Dilip Chitre. The poets included are all on the syllabi of major universities in India.

This book was released on 2023-11-06 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anthology that lies ahead takes you on a journey through the rich tapestry of Indo-Anglian literature, specifically highlighting the portrayal of women by female authors of the genre. This book is an attempt to critically explore and appreciate the literary contributions of these authors, who have effortlessly voiced the myriad experiences of Indian women, their struggles, resilience, and liberation, through their profound narratives. This collection seeks to unravel the layers of womanhood intricately woven by these authors, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity, domesticity and rebellion, and despair and hope. Our exploration navigates the diverse dimensions of female existence within the societal constructs that have long defined them. The literary sojourn transcends the remarkable works of eminent authors like Toru Dutt, Kamala Das, Pratibha Roy, Chitra Banerjee Divakurni, and others. Their narratives engage the reader in a vivid exploration of female identities constructed meticulously to challenge age-old norms and societal expectations, thereby enabling women to rightfully claim their space. The underlying objective of this anthology is not merely to delve into a literary dissection of the portrayal of women; rather, it seeks to emphasize the role of literature as a potent tool to redefine the perception of women in the Indo-Anglian literary landscape. The essays in this anthology offer an enriching and multi-dimensional analysis of the evolving identities of women, their continuous struggles, and their indomitable spirit of resilience against societal challenges. As you embark on this enlightening journey, you will encounter multi-dimensional female characters symbolizing the exceptional spirit and strength of Indian women. This anthology thus pays a heartfelt tribute to the enduring legacy of Indo-Anglian literary women and aims at acknowledging and celebrating their significant imprints in literary history. DR. PRIYANKA SINGLA, ASSOC. PROF., GCW, HISAR.
