Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore reshaped Bengali literature and music with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Commonly referred to as "The Bard of Bengal", Tagore became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. A prolific writer, his novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics both political and personal. Upon publication of the present volume, the New York Times expounded, "The fact is that the Indian poet has let down his bucket into the same deep wells which have existed since the beginning of time...Now and then one arises who has the power to draw up brimming vessels for the benefit of the multitude and when that happens our best praise is gratitude. And so we are grateful to Rabinadrath Tagore.
