Tagore : At Home in the World / edited by Sanjukta Dasgupta and Chinmoy Guha. First edition. New Delhi : SAGE Publications India Pvt. Ltd. , 2013. xix, 329 p. : colour illustrations ; 22 cm. Tagore: At Home in the World is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that reinterprets Rabindranath Tagore as a global thinker whose ideas transcend national and cultural boundaries. The contributors examine Tagore not only as a poet and novelist but also as an educator, philosopher, social reformer, artist, and advocate of universal humanism. The volume argues that Tagore's vision of freedom, creativity, cultural dialogue, and international understanding remains highly relevant in the contemporary world. The essays analyze a wide range of themes, including Tagore's literary works, educational philosophy at Santiniketan, critique of aggressive nationalism, engagement with Western and Eastern intellectual traditions, travel experiences, environmental thought, and influence on global literature and culture. The book highlights how Tagore consistently challenged narrow notions of identity, emphasizing instead a vision of humanity based on mutual respect, creativity, and peace. Intended for students and researchers of English literature, comparative literature, cultural studies, South Asian studies, history, and philosophy, the volume provides fresh perspectives on one of India's most influential intellectuals and Nobel Laureates.
