Description
"The Sound of Silent Guns" is a collection of 14 short essays on various aspects of the Bengali literary and religious traditions, selected from papers written by Edward Dimock over a period of 30 years. Some of them are new in that they have never been printed before, others have been revised from previous publications. Taken together, they represent the author's varied interests. Several essays touch on the literature or doctrine of the Vaisnavas, on literary criticism, on the more modern poetry of Jibanananda Das and on one aspect or another of the sakta tradition as manifested in the Mangal-Kavyas .
