This is a transnational and bilingual investigation of the
cross-fertilisation of mystical religiosity and modern poetical
imagination in the works of the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore
and the Irish poet W. B. Yeats. The book demonstrates how their
commitments to transnational mysticism deeply form and inform the
modernist literary projects of these poets as well as their
understanding of cultural modernity. Although its primary interest
lies in their poetry and poetics, the monograph also includes some
of their relevant prose works. This study begins with a close look
at and around the phase of 1912-1913, when Yeats and Tagore met
over the collection of the latter's English translations of his
spiritual verses, Gitanjali, and took mutual interests in each
other's works and cultural significances. The monograph then
expands on both sides of that phase, selectively covering the whole
career of the poets in its exploration of their parallel
mystic-modern cultural-poetical projects.
