Rabindranath Tagore as a Philosophical Voyager: A Critical Study of Gitanjali

A multi-faceted creative personality, Rabindranath Tagore is one of the greatest stalwarts of both English and Bengali literatures.

He created a Renaissance in India, where people were awakened by the great corpus of creative work produced during the country's struggle for independence from the British.

Tagore was undoubtedly a champion of this literary protest.

He produced masterpieces in Bengali literature and later translated them into English.

Gitanjali, his masterpiece collection of poems with a foreword by William Butler Yeats, is renowned for its rhythmic, optimistic, and lyrical nature.

It won Tagore the Nobel Prize for Literature, the first awarded to an Asian writer, and a knighthood.

In this landmark study, noted Indian scholar P. V. Laxmiprasad offers the most comprehensive critical study of Tagore's work to date.
