Rezensionen

"Eighty years have passed since Rabindranath Tagore's death and the Bengali writer never cease to inspire people, not just in his homeland but beyond its confines. Tagore was the first truly global figure of India and his writings as a poet, prose-writer and cultural thinker are nowadays more and more scrutinised in a postcolonial light. This volume with essays on how Tagore's poetry, religious or educational ideas, short stories, dialogue with leading intellectuals, travel writing reached or had the potential to reach beyond Bengal, is an important addition to an ever better understanding of one of the finest minds of modern India."
Imre Bangha, University of Oxford, UK

"Rabindranath Tagore has always travelled, and in his situated universalism he continues to go beyond 'narrow domestic walls.' This is an excellent collection of papers on his powerful and increasingly pertinent legacy."
Tabish Khair, Aarhus University, Denmark

"An extraordinary compendium that sheds new light on an extraordinary man, his times, and the profound impact he had on Indian arts, literary culture, and moral imagination. "
Namit Arora, author of Indians: A brief history of a Civilization
