Rabindranath Tagore

Biography of Rabindranath Tagore, Central Library Goa

Tagore reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the early 20th century. His poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. 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.
