“Literary criticism can be no more than a reasoned account of the feeling produced upon the critic by the book he is criticizing”. -D. H. Lawrence
The Department of English, The Bhawanipur Education Society College successfully organized another chapter of the Students’ Seminar on May, 6, 2023 This was the third students’ seminar following the first two successful installments in the year 2022.

This time the papers were single authored only. The seminar was conducted in three sessions followed by a Q/A round. The participants were judged by Prof Ananyya Banerjee, Prof Sonal Kapur and Prof Soumyajit Chandra of the English department.
