Eliot, ''Where the Dreams Cross: T. S. Eliot and French Poetry'' (2000), resulted in him delivering lectures on Eliot’s extensive debt to Symbolist and Post-Symbolist French Poetry at St John’s College, Oxford, Manchester University, Warwick University and University of Worcester.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Teachers' Profile of Professor Chinmoy Guha in the official website of Calcutta University )〕 Frank Kermode said "He has gone deeper into the French origins or sources of T S Eliot than any other commentator I have encountered" in ''The Sunday Times'', London, 4 June 2001 and also wrote appreciatively in the ''Times Higher Education''. Guha's admiration for French was triggered off by a class lecture by professor Purushottama Lal, when Guha was an undergraduate student at the St. Xavier's College. Later in life, the poet and French scholar Arun Mitra became his main source of inspiration for learning French. He has translated various works from French into Bengali. His books of essays ''Chilekothar Unmadini'' (2007) and ''Garho Sankher Khonje'' (2010) established him as a distinguished writer of Bengali prose.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PUBLISHED BOOKS )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chinmoy Guha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
