The timeline of Bengali literature is divided into three periods: ancient (650–1200), medieval (1200–1800) and modern (after 1800). Chatterjee enlightens the story of the people of Bengali origin and their significance in the field of literature with a review of some writers that are worthy of acknowledgement among their peers.
