Thakkar Vassonji Madhavji Lectures. The Present State of Gujarati Literature

1934

The form of the language uptil the Kahanad de Prabandha'' remained archaic though the subject matter of the poem marks a welco [...] Whether the theme sung was taken from mythology (the Purdnas) the Bhagvata or epics like the Mandbharat and the Ramäyapa the object was one and the same namely to show the reader how the heroes and heroines of old had acquitted themselves in the life of the spirit and to advise him and guide him in that life. [...] They found that it had indeed all they desired and they demonstrated in their compositions that it was possible to introduce all the grace and the charm the music and the pathos that were to be found in the poetry of the other language. [...] Poems showing that their writers delight in the close observation of nature and that they have studied closely the softer emotions of the human heart such as the love of parent for child and of man for woman grief and sorrow have taken the place of the BhaktiLECTURE I (A). [...] One drawback of this new phase in the writing of poetry was that those who were not familiar with the ideas and the trend of the work of the English poets were unable to appreciate fully or even partially the beauty of the sentiments expressed by them.
