BOOK REVIEW
A collection of essays focuses on venerable literary works.
Chaudhuri (War of Thrones, 2017) asserts in the preface that her goal in this book is to present some personal opinions
on a few celebrated volumes. These texts include two by Shakespeare (Othello and Hamlet), one by Keats (Ode to a
Nightingale), and one by the Indian writer Rabindranath Tagore (The Lost Jewels). Each one is examined with the help
of writings by established scholars, including A.C. Bradley and T.S. Eliot. The author adds her own analysis to topics
that include the question of Hamletâs sanity and the reflection of the human experience in Keatsâ poetry (in contrast to
his esteem for nature). The works are treated tenderly; Chaudhuri clearly holds them all in high regard. As the author
writes of Keats, âHis poetry has rarely been equaled in descriptions of the beauties perceptible to the senses.â Such
earnest praise shows that these oft-discussed volumes can still inspire strong emotions in modern readers. Additionally,
the inclusion of Tagore among the more famous authors (at least to the average American reader) makes for a
noteworthy juxtaposition. But some of Chaudhuriâs views can be confusing. The author compares Othelloâs death to
Iagoâs life, saying that the Moorâs suicide is certainly tragic âbut of, to live as Iago lives, devouring the dust and
stingingâthis is more appalling.â The phrasing is awkward and, while Chaudhuriâs assertion is eventually clear, such
sentences may require rereading. This makes much of the book slow going. The author writes of Hamlet that âwith the
appearance of the Ghost a second time, the structure of the action emphasizes that the âcommandâ that made the climax
of the exposition has failed to be performed.â The passage is nearly as wordy as the scene it is describing. Nevertheless,
even readers familiar with these volumes can glean new, thought-provoking details. For instance, as Chaudhuri points
out, readers do not really know how old Hamlet is. That such considerations can still attract attention helps to prove the
authorâs contention that these works are worthy of discussion.
This volume affectionately looks at famous texts, though some points remain muddled.
