Lyric Poetry, Sonnet and Madhusudan

In a chronological discussion of the forms and structures of lyric poetry and sonnets, it is notable to examine the similarities and differences between the two. Both have had influences in Bengali literature since the 19th century. The essence and flavor of lyric poetry and sonnets are entirely distinct. While lyric poetry existed in Bengali before the 19th century, the sonnet's expansion occurred during this period. It’s worth mentioning that the Charyapada and the Shreekrishna Kirtan contain 14-line poems, but they are not sonnets. Petrarch had discovered this form in Italy before the 19th century, but it was Madhusudan who introduced it to Bengali literature after that. Although there is an intimate connection between sonnets and lyric poetry, substantial differences remain, as identified by Madhusudan. He brought the taste of meter into Bengali literature through sonnets, marking a revolution. While lyric poetry may seem somewhat subdued, the distinctiveness of sonnets is well recognized. Although Madhusudan's sonnets exhibit artistic finesse, variations in subject and theme suggest that while they can be considered the cradle of Bengali sonnets, they do not fully qualify as structured sonnets.
