About the Book: Rabindranath Tagore: A Life This short intellectual biography situates Tagore's life and work in the history of his times, namely the national struggle for independence in India and, globally, the transition from Victorian stability to the turmoil of World War II. Drawing on primary sources like his letters, autobiographical accounts, and his literary works, it brings alive the man who built on the heritage of the nineteenth century renaissance in India and became one of the makers of the modern Indian mind. A special feature is the time-line comparison of events in Tagore's personal and public life and in Indiani and world history.
