Poems Of Rabindranath Tagore

Overview

The sheer volume and diversity of Rabindranath Tagore's work in a creative life of over six decades makes one gasp. In translation, only a very small fraction of this voluminous body of work can give pleasure comparable to that of great literature in the original.

Nearly forty years back, Humayun Kabir, himself a leading figure in English sholarship in India, brought together as many as eighteen of the most well known literary figures and finest minds of English scholarship in Bengal to translate a hundred and one of the best poems of Tagore. The poetic sensibilities and contribution to the study of, and research on Tagore literature of each of the translators resulted in this outstanding anthology of Tagore?s poems in translation.

The poems included in this book have been composed over a period of as many as sixty years, the first as early as 1881 and the last barely a week before his death in 1941. The poems illustrate an astounding variety of interests and a great imaginative sweep.

A number of manuscripts pages and twenty colour reproductions of Rabindranath's paintings add to the value of this new edition.
