Book excerpt: The Book Is A Major Critical Attempt That Tries To Evaluate TagoreýS Literary Genius In The Background Of Modernism Which According To The Author Chiefly Consists In A Single-Minded Preoccupation With The Body Of Poetry With The Consequent Belief In The Self-Sufficiency Of Language And In An Oppressive And Overwhelming Consciousness Of Evil In The World. The Author Tries, Following The Great PoetýS Own View Of Criticism, To Understand The Way In Which The World Expresses Itself In The Body Of TagoreýS Poetic Creation. He Examines How The Awareness Of Evil Grows In TagoreýS Work Until It Becomes Pervasive In His Final Phase. The Critic Shows How The Poet Moves From Romantic Effusion And Melancholy To The Self-Processed Tranquillity Of Divine Love And From There Towards Western Humanism On The One Hand And To A Realisation Of ýThe Gracious Aspect Of The Terribleý On The Other.
