Middle Flight (MF)

One might catch in the name Middle Flight (ISSN 2319-7684), a peer reviewed non-profit, national, print journal on English literature and culture the echo of what John Milton writes in the invocation to his epic The Paradise Lost – I then Invoke thy aid to my adventrous Song, That with no middle flight intends to soar Above th’ Aonian Mount, while it pursues Things unattempted yet in Prose or Rhyme. Middle Flight is also reminiscent of the perennial yearning in all of us to take to small , home-bound ‘flights’ of imagination (like that of Wordsworth’s skylark perhaps) which is the life-breath of any creativity. The name also connotes that, unlike Iacrus, one should desist from being presumptuous. The idea of publishing a journal from the department of English , Sukumar Sengupta Mahavidyalaya occurred to the teachers of the department on the eve of a state level seminar on “Re-reading Shakespeare and Donne” held in 2012 . The name and idea was approved by Professor T. D. Purkayastha , a poet and teacher of eminence , among others. Tremendous effort was required to make it possible. Print copy of the journal was sent to the ISSN authority, New Delhi who kindly assigned ISSN, a step that emboldened us to go ahead. Middle Flight is being published since that time without any year lag.
