About the Book
Based on extended research conducted at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Kolkata, and fieldwork in rural Birbhum, this book explores the intricate relationship between narrative and society in the works of Tarashankar Bandyopadhyay.

Pradyumna Bhattacharya examines how the shifting structures of rural and semi-urban Bengal are reflected in Tarashankar’s novels and short stories. Through careful textual analysis and socio-historical contextualization, the study traces the movements of class, caste, economy, and community life embedded within literary form.

Spanning 128 pages, this paperback offers a focused and insightful contribution to literary sociology and modern Bengali literary studies.
