The Religious Themes of Rabindranath Tagore and T.S. Eliot

Poetry and Plays

Beschreibung

Eschewing theological abstractions and scriptural information, this study is an insight into the empirical quest for the finite-infinite relationship as understood and experienced by the two epoch-making literary figures, Rabindranath Tagore and T.S. Eliot. Through the predominant relationships of man with love, death, time, humanity and liberation, it makes a first-of-its-kind attempt to capture the subtle nuances of the religious sensibilities of the two poets. The book uncovers a deep undercurrent of mysticism that lies embedded in their oeuvre and shows how the East and West have converged in the spiritual concerns of the two central figures of the modern age.
