Empire, Nationalism and the Postcolonial World

Focusing on Rabindranath Tagore's English writings, this book offers a fresh perspective by situating his work within the framework of imperial history. It aims to connect Tagore studies with imperial and postcolonial historiography, highlighting the significance of his contributions as both a Nobel laureate and a cultural figure in India. This reinterpretation sheds light on the interplay between his literary output and the historical context of colonialism.
