16. Patterns of Composition in the Seventeenth-Century Bengali Literature of Arakan

Thibaut d’Hubert (author)

Chapter of: Tellings and Texts: Music, Literature and Performance in North India(pp. 423–444)

This essay on the role of performance in the 17th-century Bengali panchali poetry of Aloal introduces a form of poetic performance that is little known outside of Bengali-speaking parts of India. D’Hubert provides a model for how texts can be enriched through consideration of how they unfolded in performance.
