Book Description:

নূতন ছন্দ পরিক্রমা (Nutan Chanda Parikrama) by Prabodhchandra Sen explores the art and science of Bengali prosody (Chhanda), a field where Sen is regarded as a pioneering figure. A scholar and professor of Bengali literature and history, Sen’s life was devoted to the study and exploration of Bengali poetic meter and rhythm.

Born in 1897 in Comilla, Eastern Bengal, Sen became a key figure in Bengali literary circles, gaining recognition for his groundbreaking research on Bengali prosody. His scholarly career included teaching at institutions like Doulatpur College and Visva-Bharati University, where he spent a considerable part of his life studying and teaching the works of Rabindranath Tagore. His dedication to the study of rhythm in Bengali literature led to a series of influential essays and books, including ছন্দজিজ্ঞাসা, আধুনিক বাংলা ছন্দসাহিত্য, and ছন্দোগুরু রবীন্দ্রনাথ, which contributed significantly to the understanding of Bengali verse.

This book serves as an important resource in the study of Bengali meter, exploring the intricacies of modern Bengali poetic forms and their evolution. It reflects Sen’s lifelong commitment to the development of Bengali poetic traditions and his invaluable contributions to the understanding of Bengali literature as a whole.
