Abstract
The concept of violence itself has undergone considerable philosophical analyses since ancient times and has always intrigued philosophers, psychologists, and literary artists. It is only in the 20th century that it has gained currency in most cultural discourses. Bengali literature, along with other literature, also talks about the notion of violence through several literary forms. Jibanananda Das, one of the finest romantic Bengali poets, has violence in his use of language in all pervasive phenomenon - at the phonological, morphological and syntactical level; in rhyme and metre; in stanza division; in the use of typography and the use of vowel and consonant sound. This paper focuses on the linguistic and textual violences in some of his writings that vindicate in a universal place.
