Providing a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the literary works of Nalinibala Devi is a challenging task. However, the author, Dr. Paresh Nath Sharma, has successfully accomplished this difficult undertaking with remarkable clarity and insight.

In this book, Dr. Sharma examines the Indian philosophical ideas reflected in Nalinibala Devi’s poetry, particularly the influence of the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and mysticism, presenting his arguments in a simple yet convincing manner. He also offers an objective and balanced discussion of how the poet was influenced not only by Rabindranath Tagore but also by several Western poets.

The author clearly analyzes the distinctive features of Nalinibala Devi’s poetry, drama, and prose, highlighting the diversity of themes and the harmonious use of literary techniques and artistic form. Through its thoughtful and scholarly approach, this book is expected to make a valuable contribution to the academic study of Assamese language and literature.
