PhD Research
While studying at D. H. Lawrence's alma mater at Nottingham I got enthused to work on his reception among Bengali readers and writers. For my research I have chosen the post-Tagore writers of Bengal, who were pioneers in introducing modernism in Bengali literature. The aim of my research is to map out Lawrence's influence on these writers, especially in respect of their handling of sexuality in their works and, hence, their defiance of Tagorean ideals prevalent in Bengali literature.
