To this list, the present volume is a welcome addition. Tagore the Eternal Seeker: Footprints of a World Traveller, edited by Suryakanthi Tripathi and others, traces Tagore’s role as cultural mediator. Other books, such as Alex Aronson’s Rabindranath Tagore through Western Eyes, Sujit Mukherjee’s Passage to America, Rabindranath Tagore and the British Press edited by Kalyan Kundu and others and Tagore and China, edited by Tan Chung, focus on Tagore’s relationships with specific parts of the world. Rabindranath Tagore: A Centenary Volume 1861-1961 includes essays by many intellectuals. The Golden Book of Tagore, published on Tagore’s birthday in 1931, contains tributes and felicitations from world celebrities. This is not the first critical anthology to address Tagore’s standing as a world literary figure.
