Rabindranath Tagore
Born in Kolkata in 1861, Rabindranath Tagore was an innovative polymath who reshaped Bengali literature and music. In 1913 he became Asia’s first Nobel Prize winner for his famous volume of verse and lyrics published as Gitanjali. Tagore’s creative output was staggering, encompassing thousands of songs as well as novels, lyrics and poems, plays, personal and political essays and paintings. However, it was through his short stories that he reshaped Bengali literature, introducing a less formal style whose freshness and psychological depth was so different from traditional classical writing. With his elegant and charming prose, he captured the ordinary lives of both rural and urban dwellers whilst encompassing universal themes such as love, loyalty and hope. Tagore, who died in 1941, is remembered as India’s most famous modern poet.
