Life and Letters of Toru Dutt (1921) is a biography of Toru Dutt.
Comprising biographical sections by scholar Harihar Das, selections
from her many letters, and commentary on her novels and
translations, Life and Letters of Toru Dutt is an invaluable
resource for information on a pioneering figure in Indian history
and Bengali literature. Born in Calcutta to a family of Bengali
Christians, Toru Dutt was raised at the crossroads of English and
Indian cultures. In addition to her native Bengali, she became
fluent in English, French, and Sanskrit as a young girl, eventually
writing novels and poems in each language. Harihar Das' biography
is an exhaustive record of her life from youth to young adulthood,
granting particular attention to her travels in England and Europe,
which Dutt herself describes in beautiful prose in letters to
friends and family. Despite her limited body of work, Dutt's legacy
as a groundbreaking writer remains firm in India and around the
world. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Harihar Das and Toru Dutt's Life and
Letters of Toru Dutt is a classic work of Bengali literature
reimagined for modern readers.
