History of Bengali Language and Literature c13.12

c13.12

This work has been pronounced by competent authorities to be of considerable original research in the history of the language and literature of Bengal and is the first attempt at a complete history of Bengali literature. The materials on which the work is founded were contained in manuscripts hitherto unknown to students, scattered over many districts of Bengal, and the great labour involved in discovering and collating them has told seriously on the health of Babu Dinesh Chandra Sen.
