Rabindranath Tagoreα (Bengali: রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর; 7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941),
Gurudev,was an Indian-Bengali polymath who reshaped his region's
literature and music. Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive,
fresh and beautiful verse" he became the first non-European Nobel
laureate by earning the 1913 Prize in Literature. In translation his
poetry was viewed as spiritual and mercurial; his seemingly mesmeric
personality, flowing hair, and other-worldly dress earned him a
prophet-like reputation in the West. His "elegant prose and magical
poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal.
A Pirali Brahmin from Calcutta, Tagore wrote poetry as an
eight-year-old. At age sixteen, he cheekily released his first
substantial poems under the pseudonym Bhānusi ("Sun Lion"), which were
seized upon by literary authorities as long-lost classics. He graduated
to his first short stories and dramas—and the aegis of his birth name—by
1877. As a humanist, universalist internationalist, and strident
anti-nationalist he denounced the Raj and advocated for independence
from Britain. As an exponent of the Bengal Renaissance he advanced a
vast canon that comprised paintings, sketches and doodles, hundreds of
texts, and some two thousand songs; his legacy endures also in the
institution he founded, Visva-Bharati University.
Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and
resisting linguistic strictures. His novels, stories, songs,
dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal.
Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home
and the World) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories,
and novels were acclaimed—or panned—for their lyricism, colloquialism,
naturalism, and unnatural contemplation. His compositions were chosen by
two nations as national anthems: the Republic of India's Jana Gana Mana
and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla.
Works
Known mostly for his poetry, Tagore wrote novels, essays, short stories,
travelogues, dramas, and thousands of songs. Of Tagore's prose, his
short stories are perhaps most highly regarded; he is indeed credited
with originating the Bengali-language version of the genre. His works
are frequently noted for their rhythmic, optimistic, and lyrical nature.
Such stories mostly borrow from deceptively simple subject matter:
commoners. Tagore's non-fiction grappled with history, linguistics, and
spirituality. He wrote autobiographies. His travelogues, essays, and
lectures were compiled into several volumes, including Europe Jatrir
Patro (Letters from Europe) and Manusher Dhormo (The Religion of Man).
His brief chat with Einstein, "Note on the Nature of Reality", is
included as an appendix to the latter. On the occasion of Tagore's 150th
birthday an anthology (titled Kalanukromik Rabindra Rachanabali) of the
total body of his works is currently being published in Bengali in
chronological order. This includes all versions of each work and fills
about eighty volumes. In 2011, Harvard University Press collaborated
with Visva-Bharati University to publish The Essential Tagore, the
largest anthology of Tagore's works available in English; it was edited
by Fakrul Alam and Radha Chakravarthy and marks the 150th anniversary of
Tagore’s birth.
