This book, based entirely on the UGC’s NET syllabus, is the revised second edition of the A Textbook for Objective Questions in English Literature for UGC’s NET and Post-Graduate Students. The book has been prepared specially for the students who are preparing for UGC NET in English, and therefore for Ph.D. entrance examinations of various state universities also. The book is primarily designed to make a comprehensive study of the prescribed syllabus.

There are two type of books available in the market. Most of the books provide objective question bank. We know that there is no limit of the objective questions. The subjective knowledge of the literature is necessary for good preparation. No doubt there are also some books which provide subjective knowledge but these books provide insufficient knowledge. Some of these books provide either the list of the writer or the list of the works. The present book provides subjective material first followed by objective questions. This feature of the book makes it different from any other book available in the market. The entire book has been divided into ten units which is prescribed by UGC. Nothing irrelevant or superfluous has been given.

A Manual of RHETORIC and PROSODY

2011-11-22T00:19:00.000-08:00

Price: Rs. 58.00

The study of Rhetoric and Prosody is a must for those who want to speak and write elegantly, focefully and impressively. A good knowledge of grammar helps us to express ourselves correctly, but it cannot make us express our thoughts in a charming and agreeable way. It is the knowledge of the rhetoric (ie. figures of speech) which enables us to do so. Anybody who has read Shakespeare's Julius Caesar knows how Antony, by the clever and good use of some figures of speech, swept of the hostile Roman mob, and won them to his side.

This manual has been written specially for students reading in the colleges of various Indian Universities. It has been written strictly on practical lines. A merely theoritical knowledge of the rules and principles of Rhetoric and Prosody is of little practical use, so at every step varied examples, specimens of model anaswers have been provided to illustrate these rules. Exercises have been appended at the end of each chapter to enable the students to put in practice what they have learnt in theory.

Love

2011-11-09T05:46:00.000-08:00

Collection of Poems

by Arbind Kumar Choudhary

ISBN 978-81-7977-418-2

Price: Rs. 60.00 and $ 5.00

This long contemplation of love spun out in short-line quatrains embraces eros, breath of life and the more high-minded idealization of human romantic love drawing upon western culture from ancient Greek mythology to the very contemporary aspects of torrid desire.

John. B. Lee, Poet Laureate of Brantford, Canada.

These quatrains are on diverse facets of love, including physical and metaphysical. Some quatrains define love and some love’s outgrowth. In some quatrains the first lines rhyme with the second and in some with the third or the fourth. This variance is to avoid monotony and also to suggest that love itself does not embody any set rules. These witty or satirical quatrains articulate the thoughts and observations of a sage on an epigrammatical landscape of a notable individuality. Where there is any need, the sage draws on French and Latin expressions.

Stephen Gill, Poet Laureate of Anstead, Adjunct Professor, E-A U Canada

What is real love? There are so many variations of this most beautiful phenomenon in life: a child’s love, motherly love, young love, the love of a married couple, the transcendental love, the love to animals and plants, the love to all beautiful things as such. Maybe love will even break if we try to define it precisely, because we can only approach love in concentric circles. Probably we can describe love only with the resources of poetry, as it is done in Arbind Choudhary’s sensitive and accurate way. He shows that love can only exist when it is not egoistical, when we have no eye to one’s own interest. The poems, one truer than the other, one more beautiful than the other, implant love in our heart. So poetically described, love is never lost.

Kurt.F.Svatek, Austria

Arbind Kumar Choudhary’s poetry collection Love is a must for everyone who is emotionally involved, for all romantics, and most of all for those that enjoy alluring words that entice mind and body into a special state of well being.

In India, this book may not only have an aphrodisiac effect on lovers, it will be read and enjoyed for the sentiments expressed by the poet.

Les Merton, Editor/Founder of Poetry Cornwall & Bard of Gorseth Kernow, England

THOMAS CARLYLE: The Hero as Man of Letters

2011-10-14T06:50:00.000-07:00

A classic of English literature, Carlyle’s Hero As Man of Letters deals with the concept of hero-worship, which is still a living phenomenon in all democratic countries. These hero-lectures hinge on the doctrine that it is the spiritual which determine the material, the doctrine on which the vast structures of all religious systems stand, and which holds the key to man’s true happiness and peace to this world. I have undertaken to edit this book mainly to meet the needs of the students who consider the book inaccessible to them. The reason why the students fail to understand these lectures is their unfamiliarity with Carlyle’s philosophy of life, his conception of hero-worship, and of history, and above all with the motive behind his use of the quaint ungrammatical expressions which have been denounced by Maculay as the “the half-German jargon of the present day.” The general introduction to Carlyle is meant to get the students acquainted with those things which will help them master the contents of the book, and lay to their heart its inestimable significance even to-day. The detailed summaries will give a fairly complete idea of the subject matter of the essays, and will be sufficient for those who want to enjoy a difficult author like Carlyle through proxy.

List of Contents:

Life and works of Thomas Carlyle
Carlyle’s Concept of History
Carlyle as a Socio-Political Critic
Carlyle as a moral force
Carlyle as a Literary Artist

Prof. Niranjan Mohanty authored the eight poetic volumes namely: Silencing the Words (1977), Oh This Bloody Game!(1988), Prayers to Lord Jagannatha (1994),On Touching You and Others Poems (1999), Life Lines (1999), Krishna (2003), Tigers and Others Poems (2008) and A House of Rains (2008). He was, indeed, a great poetic pilgrim who began his journey as an outsider and ended as an insider. He successfully developed his poetic idiom in English which was quite innovative. He was a critic and translator of repute. He translated from Oriya and Bengali into English and Bengali into Oriya. His Oriya translated work Nirjhar, a volume of sixty poems of Jibanananda Das was published by Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi. Sarup and Sons also published his translated work Sangram Jena’s Poems of Passion. He was the single largest contributor of articles (more than 25) on the poetry of Jayanta Mahapatra. His poetry breathed life in all its dimensions. Orissan landscapes, Contemporaneity, time, death, identity-question, absences, loneliness, memory, dreams, inner struggle, rain, devotion, respect for the family and home etc. were the different threads with which he weaved the texture of his poetry. As a poet and a man, he was human to the core.

RUSKIN BOND Interpreter of Human Relationships

2011-06-02T03:44:00.000-07:00

by: RAM KULESH THAKUR

ISBN 978-81-7977-411-3

Price: Rs. 80.00

pp.: 80

With his versatile, original and elegant writing style, Ruskin Bond has secured for himself a place among the most successful Indian short story writers.

The present study, a short literary monograph, seeks to highlight Ruskin Bond in a new perspective. He has been accredited with Nature writings and writings for the entertainment of children. Apart from a rich pictorial description of Nature, traveling experiences, supernatural elements, and nostalgic memories, Bond also presents a web of human relationships in his short stories. His stories depict such unexplored relationships as ‘Child-Stranger’, ‘Child-Child’, ‘Child-Parent’, ‘Male-Female’, ‘Male-Male’ and ‘Human-Nature’.

The text-centred study, besides assessing his position among the contemporary Indian English Writers, presents a detailed classification of his writings into several categories and further sub-categorizes the short stories on the basis of the human relationship they discuss. It analyses human relationships in terms of the characters’ psychological attitude, behaviour and defence mechanisms such as “Rationalization”, “Phantasy”, “Projection”, “Identification” and “Withdrawl.” This should help explain and appraise Ruskin Bond’s understanding and grasp of human mind, character, attitude, and behaviour on the one hand, and the social structure and milieu, on the other.

In brief, it provides a new dimension to the short stories of Ruskin Bond. No study has been carried out till date on the ‘human relationship’ in Bond’s short stories or the psychology at work in the human relationships depicted by Bond.

Ruskin Bond, already established as one of the most celebrated English short story writers, is included in the syllabuses of many Indian Universities at the Bachelor/Honors and Master’s Degree level. The book should help students understand the writer in fresh light, and also motivate some of them to explore Bond for higher studies.

ROHINTON MISTRY: Such A Long Journey (a critical study)

Rohinton Mistry whose career and achievements can be seen as a part of the worldwide cultural changes, is part of a generation that had to face the problems that resulted from the withdrawal of imperial order and the resulting cultural confusion. Yet his story is perhaps unique in his having started with so little and having come so far. Rohinton Mistry, while living in his adopted home, writes more authentically about his Indian experience before going to Canada. In his fiction he not only portrays the picture of his contemporary social and political life but also offers commentary on the historical situations and raises a national debate. His writing concerns people who witness painful family dynamics and difficult social and political constraints.

At present when Rohinton Mistry’s Such a Long Journey is prescribed in the syllabus by various universities and critical material on Mistry is not sufficiently available, this book will be helpful not only for UG & PG students but for research scholars also. This book on Mistry’s Such a Long Journey will help the readers of Mistry to discover new grounds for further study.

Edward FitzGerald’s version of Omar Khayyam’s rubais has attained a world-wide reputation. Omar, who was little known in his own country for his Persian Rubaiyat, drew the attention of poets, critics and scholars the world over because of FitzGerald’s version. FitzGerald’s version is an inspired recreation rather than a translation, as the suppleness of its diction—full of ease and grace reveals.

Beside the original version of FitzGerald, Hindi translation to FitzGerald’s version and original rubais of Omar Khayyam are also given in notes for better understanding of the context. This book also provides an introduction to Edward FitzGerald, Omar Khayyam and Rubais.
