Description

Assamiya Sahityer Shomikkhattok Itibritto — Complete Overview

Assamiya Sahityer Shomikkhattok Itibritto by Dr. Satyendranath Sharma is a foundational Assamese-language text tracing the critical history of Assamese literature. For students of Assamese literature, this book is indispensable — it doesn’t just summarise literary works, it examines how literary criticism itself evolved in Assam, from early evaluative traditions to modern critical schools of thought.

Why This Book is Essential for Assamese Literature Students

Assamese literature courses at the university level demand more than familiarity with texts — they require an understanding of how those texts have been read, judged, and reinterpreted over time. This book fills that exact gap. It walks students through the historical development of samalochana (criticism) in Assamese letters, connecting literary movements to the critical frameworks applied to them. This makes it a core reference for B.A. and M.A. Assamese Honours/Major papers, and for anyone preparing academic essays or theses on Assamese literary history.

Dr. Satyendranath Sharma remains one of the most cited scholars in Assamese literary studies, and this text is frequently prescribed or recommended reading in university syllabi across Assam. Its value extends beyond the classroom too — aspirants preparing for NET/SLET (Assamese), TET Assamese-medium papers, and other exams testing literary and cultural knowledge of Assam will find it strengthens their conceptual grounding.
