Description:About the Book: Scholars have long debated the very idea of a 'Bengal Renaissance'. Their controversies have dwelt almost entirely over whether there was anything like a 'renaissance' at all, and its significance or otherwise from social, political, and cultural perspectives.

The most notable figures in this creative community were the social reformer and savant Rammohun Roy; the poet Henry Derozio; the scholar-poet Michael Madhusudan Datta; the novelist Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay; pioneering scientists and medical men such as Mahendra Lal Sircar, Jagadis Chandra Bose, and Prafulla Chandra Ray; the mystic Sri Ramakrishna, the pedagogue Swami Vivekananda; and the all-encompassing literary figure Rabindranath Tagore. The core work of each of these major figures is outlined for its distinctive style, analysed for its contribution to an intellectual milieu, and assessed for its effect on cultural life.

He argues that the creativity manifested by these individuals and the resulting shared cognitive idWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
