This book is neither a History of English Literature nor a Guide to Literary Theory; it is what the title clearly implies -- an Introduction to the Study of English Literature. What we have tried to do is to combine diverse elements--literary theory. Linguistic and literary history, cultural history and the history of ideas--that are relevant to the study and enjoyment of English Literature. But although the main emphasis in the book is on the study of English literature in terms of Western critical categories, there are also references to literature and the criteria enunciated in Indian treaties on poetics. The total aim of the book is simply to help the student to view English literature in its varied extrinsic forms and appropriate backgrounds, and also to see it in its true inwardness and universality.
Sri Aurobindo's multi-faceted genius is not easily fathomed. The world knows him primarily as a Mahayogi. He was also a superb poet in English and achieved the impossible by producing a great philosophical epic in Savitri. Almost 50 years a-growing, the epic poem takes up the secular legend of Savitri and Satyavan found in Vyasa's Mahabharata and retells the tale in terms of man's evolutionary advancement and the possibilities of his great future on earth. Savitri by itself, Savitri in relation to Sri Aurobindo's life and work, and Savitri in relation to the great epics of the world and even in relation to the currents of human thoughts and experience of all times: these are the three ascending terms in the argument in A Study of Savitri. At a time when there is a widening interest in Sri Aurobindo's poem, this trustworthy volume will be a great help to aspirants the world over.
