Publisher's Synopsis
The Bengali Book of English Verse is a collection of poems compiled by Theodore Douglas Dunn and published in 1918. The book contains a selection of English poems translated into Bengali, a language spoken in the eastern regions of India and Bangladesh. The poems cover a wide range of themes and styles, from romantic and pastoral to philosophical and political. The book is divided into sections, each featuring poems by a different poet, including William Shakespeare, John Milton, William Wordsworth, and Alfred Lord Tennyson, among others. The translations are faithful to the original texts and capture the essence of the poems in Bengali. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the intersection of English and Bengali literature and the cultural exchange between the West and the East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
