Rabindhranath Tagore reshaped Bengali literature and music as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the ‘profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful’ poetry of Gitanjali, he became in 1913 the first non-European and the first lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Referred to as ‘the Bard of Bengal’, Tagore was known by sobriquets: Gurudev, Kobiguru, Biswakobi.
Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his ‘elegant prose and magical poetry’ remain largely unknown outside Bengal.
