A Walk To Tintern Abbey And Beyond: For The Love Of Literature

Originally published as a series of podcasts, Jaya Chandrasekhar's collection of write-ups is on selected timeless poems and plays. In an engaging conversational tone, she brings alive the vibrant echoes from the past. Curiosity is kindled by the array of questions raised and the reader accompanies the author in her quest for understanding. Together they explore and interpret poetry, drama and life. They traverse the corridors of literature, borders collapse, to reveal rich insights, deep lasting humanness and aesthetic fulfilment. A resourceful companion to a literary student, the book carefully handpicks from a plethora of literary criticism, the most noteworthy, illuminating studies, enriched with the writer's own vantage point. Her open-ended writing respects and inspires the reader's own perspective. She puts into words what a piece of literary work is, the deep impressions it creates and the entire period with the social realities it evokes. The reader discerns and determines what aspects merit critical scrutiny and what lies unexplored in this luminous record of inner and outer life, craftsmanship and the mystique we call genius. Here is a meditative walk from the serene Tintern Abbey to the magical Byzantium and the ageless, enduring ruins of Burnt Norton.
