		Madhusudan was the pioneer of the new 19th century awakening of Bengal.

	The Hindu : Poles of recovery: from Dutt to Chaudhuri
		Dutt's remarks, and, indeed, the poem he was then working on, records the relocation of the mythic - which, till then, had been situated in the culture of a community - within the half-truths and subconscious of a new, colonial bourgeoisie.
		Dutt's lonely arrival in the land where he'd once wished to be recognised as an "English" poet went unremarked; he was miserable, and soon short of funds.
		Dutt used the sonnet's self-reflexivity, and also its ability to address the political, to play out, explicitly, the drama of disowning and recovery, of exile and homecoming, that had shaped both his life and his artistic choices.

	A Tremendous Comet : Michael Madhusudan Dutt's Biopgraphy by Ghulam Murshid, Reviewed by Ketaki Kushari Dyson
		Michael went to London to become a barrister; he and his second family lived for some time in Versailles in France, because Michael thought it was cheaper to live there than in London.
		Colourful as Michael’s life was, the absence of a reliable modern biography, one that could separate the facts from the numerous fictions that had sprung up round his name, had long been a regrettable gap in the critical literature on him.
		Michael did not speak openly about this aspect of his life to his friends, but his emotional turmoil is recorded in his poetry and drama: if we know how to decode it, we can read it clearly, and Murshid helps us to do it.

		Later he admired Michael who dedicated ‘Birangana’ (‘heroic epistles from the most noted Puranic women to their lovers or lords’, he wrote to Basu in February 1862) to him.

	Sample text for Library of Congress control number 2002071389
		Dutt studied at the Hindu College, and wrote poetry in English (he sent a poem to Blackwood's Magazine dedicated to William Wordsworth, but there was no response from the journal; see also the extract below) in his quest to become a canonical 'English' poet.
		Dutt chose as subject-matter for his epic Meghnada Badha Kabya (1861) an episode from the Hindu epic, the Ramayana, which he had heard from his mother as a child, but made the son of Ravana, the hero Rama's traditional adversary, the tragic protagonist of his poem.
		Dutt led an extravagant life, and spent more than he earned as a barrister; he often borrowed money from his indulgent friends, some of whom were towering presences in their own right.

		Dutt was born in 1824 into a well-to-do middle-class family, in a Bengal where a native bourgeoisie and intelligentsia had already come into being.
		Roughly after Dutt’s casual exhortations, the gods and goddesses would begin to appear not as deities, as they would to a devotee, but as actors upon the stage of the “secular” consciousness, to which their meaning and power would no longer be orthodoxly religious, but nevertheless profound.
		They are inscribed, too, into the subject matter and Dutt’s treatment of it; Dutt’s epic reworks an episode from the Hindu epic, the Ramayana (which he’d heard from his mother as a child), except that, as we know, Dutt made the son of Ravana, the hero Rama’s traditional adversary, the tragic protagonist of his poem.

		Fortunately, the one notable exception to this state of affairs has been the case of Michael Madhusudan Dutt, called "the father of modern Bengali poetry and drama" by Ghulam Murshid in the very first line of his introduction to this collection.
		However, we now learn that this compilation had been both inaccurate and incomplete, and it is Murshid's endeavour to present to us a reliable, fuller, and more accurate version of his letters in a manner accessible to the non-Bengali reader.
		Absolute misery visited him in England and then Versailles, where the living was cheaper — from this point onwards the downward spiral was relentless and steep, not pausing with his return to Calcutta in 1867 and only worsening with his subsequent failure as a barrister and slide into penury.
