He is best known for his outstanding contributions to Shakespearean Criticism, studies in Indian aesthetics,monographs on major Bengali writers, and his doctoral work, The Art of Bernard Shaw. In his recollections of some of his teachers and contemporaries, including legendary figures like Manmohan Ghose, P C Ghosh, K C Mukherji, Srikumar Banerjee, Sunitikumar Chatterji, Gopinath Bhattacharya, Atulchandra Gupta, T N Sen and Pratulchandra Rakshit, he re-creates a piece of academic history against the setting of the colonial education system in its transition to its post-Independence continuity, with its ideals and contradictions, values and politics-with a whole host of personalities coming to life with all the richness of their qualities and foibles and idiosyncracies.
