The Book Is A Major Critical Attempt That Tries To Evaluate TagoreýS Literary Genius In The Background Of Modernism Which According To The Author Chiefly Consists In A Single-Minded Preoccupation With The Body Of Poetry With The Consequent Belief In The Self-Sufficiency Of Language And In An Oppressive And Overwhelming Consciousness Of Evil In The World. The Author Tries, Following The Great PoetýS Own View Of Criticism, To Understand The Way In Which The World Expresses Itself In The Body Of TagoreýS Poetic Creation. He Examines How The Awareness Of Evil Grows In TagoreýS Work Until It Becomes Pervasive In His Final Phase. The Critic Shows How The Poet Moves From Romantic Effusion And Melancholy To The Self-Processed Tranquillity Of Divine Love And From There Towards Western Humanism On The One Hand And To A Realisation Of ýThe Gracious Aspect Of The Terribleý On The Other.

Shesh Lekha: The Last Poems of Rabindranath Tagore is not only the last testament of Tagore but is significant in many other ways. Most of the untitled poems in this collection were literally written on his death-bed. The language is bare, the imagery striking and the expression spartan. These poems are thus radically different from the decorative language of early Tagore.

In this stunning collection of poems by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, acclaimed translator Ketaki Kushari Dyson brilliantly captures the energy and lyricism of the legendary poet’s verses. The title poem evokes the inner turmoil of a man who must return to the drudgery of work after visiting his home for the Durga Puja vacation. Haunted by his four-year-old daughter’s parting words, ‘I won’t let you go!’ he finds his anguish reflected in the vagaries of nature, with the earth echoing his pain. The other poems in this collection brim with Tagore’s compassionate humanity and delicate sensuousness. From detailing the nuances of intimate relationships to ruminating on the vast cosmos, these poems glow with a burning awareness of man’s place in the universe, reaffirming Tagore’s reputation as one of India’s greatest modern poets. In what a profound sadness are sky and earth immersed! The further I go, the more I hear the same piteous note: I wont let you go!

Politics and culture are organically related in the city of Calcutta. The period (1940s to 1950s), was chaotic and turbulent, yet, this was also a time of significant creativity in literature, art, films and music in the city. This is an unusual feature of any city but is interestingly characteristic of Calcutta. The originality of the work lies in blending poetry with historical writing, retaining the essence of both forms against the backdrop of the tumultuous events of the critical decades, as against the entire historical period of a city. This historical method together with twenty-one papers give the reader a sense of the pulse of this complex city ‘emerging creatively and chaotically from its colonial past’.

This is a transnational and bilingual investigation of the cross-fertilisation of mystical religiosity and modern poetical imagination in the works of the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore and the Irish poet W. B. Yeats. The book demonstrates how their commitments to transnational mysticism deeply form and inform the modernist literary projects of these poets as well as their understanding of cultural modernity. Although its primary interest lies in their poetry and poetics, the monograph also includes some of their relevant prose works. This study begins with a close look at and around the phase of 1912-1913, when Yeats and Tagore met over the collection of the latter’s English translations of his spiritual verses, Gitanjali, and took mutual interests in each other’s works and cultural significances. The monograph then expands on both sides of that phase, selectively covering the whole career of the poets in its exploration of their parallel mystic-modern cultural-poetical projects.
