Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. When Tagore won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 for his own English translation of Gitanjali (Song Offerings), he became the first non-European to do so, achieving immediate fame.Translations in other languages of this and other works followed. Reams… were written on his writings, and his personality. As aworld citizen, Tagore aimed at bringing the East and the West together for an inclusive humanism. His was assumed to be the Voice of India-indeed of Asia and the colonised world. The Nobel Prize gave him the authority to speak, and the intellectual elite of many countries listened. The editors of Rabindranath Tagore: One Hundred Years of Global Reception had asked Tagore experts worldwide to narrate how the Bengali author was received from 1913 until our time. Their thirty-five essays arranged by region or language group inform us about translations, the impact of Tagore s visits, and his subsequent standing in the world of letters. Tagore s reception while often enthusiastic was not always adulatory, occasionally undergoing dramatic metamorphoses, and diverse political and social milieus and cultural movements responded to him differently. This nuanced global reception is for the first time dealt with comprehensively and systematically in this volume presented as a work of reference. These essays remind us that Tagore s works keep being reprinted or retranslated for he continues to be relevant to modern readers.

Hardcover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. As a global figure, Tagore transcends the boundaries of language and reaches out to people distant both in time and space. His art took inspiration from contemporary Western trends and became a powerful means to connect with people beyond Bengal. Word, image, song, and text were his tools…of communication, as also his extraordinary presence in a sartorial garb of his own design. A littérateur in many genres, the impact of his work was determined both by the material he presented, and by its simultaneously local and global contexts. Now, when his international reputation has spanned over more than a hundred years, it is important to revisit the sites of Tagore's eminence, and ask to what extent he was a 'living text' in the century that witnessed him as a global intellectual. Accordingly, this volume investigates how Tagore's writings and art are linked to the metalinguistic domains of the psychological, medical and mythical; how he was received in various cultures outside India; how his art was determined by individual circumstances and global aspirations; and how he acted as an inspiration to his contemporaries and subsequent generations including modern Indian writers and artists.

This book investigates from a diversity of perspectives how bhakti in general contributed to the formation of early modern literary culture in north India. The eighteen papers presented at the Tenth International Bhakti Conference: Early Modern literatures in North India at Sapientia-Hungarian University of Transylvania, in Miercurea Ciuc, Romania between 22-24 July 2009 address questions on how devotional literature was an important vehicle of community formation and how it dealt with the wider society. They also explore how ideology developed for a religious phenomenon with an emotional appeal, and what were the favoured linguistic literary or muscial forms of expression for bhakti. (jacket).
