Abstract
The subject — “A Discussion on the Formal Aspects of Rabindra Drama in Light of Aristotle’s ‘Poetics” —holds immense significance. Aristotle asserted that six specific elements are indispensable to the composition of a drama. In doing so, he conveyed a guiding principle regarding the methodology a playwright ought to adopt. Indeed, the vast majority of playwrights adhere to this convention; Rabindranath Tagore is no exception, for he, too, followed Aristotle’s precepts. However, he simultaneously cultivated a distinctive style of his own; rather than merely imitating Western dramatic forms, he infused his writing with a unique identity. Throughout his oeuvre, one consistently observes an evolving nature in Rabindra drama. In the present essay, the various formal aspects of Rabindra drama have been analysed through the lens of Aristotle’s ‘Poetics’.

This article argues that the form of a text matters as much as, if not more than, its content. Using Fakhr al-Din ‘Irāqī’s Lamaʿāt (Divine Flashes) as a case study, this article explores the significance of the poetic form and the role of the reader/listener in interpreting and experiencing the poem. The article argues...
This article examines the emergence of prose as a genre in the early 19th century, as a creative response to the dual character of contemporary social events. It considers the antithesis of art and reality, and how the latter’s social dimension came to be replaced by an aesthetic one. A new type of prose genre emerges...
