Polymath Rabindranath Tagore was the first non-European to be
awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, in 1913. But Tagore was
much more than a writer. Through his poems, novels, short stories,
poetic songs, dance-dramas and paintings, he transformed Bengali
literature and Indian art. He was instrumental in bringing Indian
culture to the West and vice versa, and strove to create a less
divided society through mutual respect and understanding, like his
great contemporary and close friend, Mahatma Gandhi. In this timely
reappraisal of Tagore's life and work, Bashabi Fraser assesses
Tagore's many activities and shows how he embodies the modern
consciousness of India. She examines his ties to his upbringing in
Bengal, his role in Indian politics and his interests in
international relationships, as well as addressing some of the
mis-readings of his life and work through a holistic perspective.
