Abstract

You may take my word for it, friend Raj, I shall come out like a tremendous comet and no mistake.
- M M Dutt
Michael Madhusudan Dutt (1824-1873) is one of the greatest figures not just of Bengali but of modern Indian literature.
- William Radice
M M Dutt is a man with an Indian heart throbbing for Albion shore. Michael Madhusudan Dutt (1824-1873) –his longings for Albion shore and soil so influenced him that he embraced Christianity and added a prefix ‘Michael’ to his Hindu name. Walking on the path of Derozio and Kashiprashad Ghose, Madhusudan advanced Indian poetry in English with all new lures, desires, and strives for the West. It was a major advance in feelings and forms with portrayal of Nature under the Romantic and Western inspirations.
