Rabindranath Tagore (1861-

1941)
Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941),
sobriquet Gurudev,δ[›] was a Bengali polymath who
reshaped his region's literature and music. Author of
Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful
verse",[1] he became the first non-European Nobel
laureate by earning the 1913 Prize in Literature.[2] In
translation his poetry was viewed as spiritual and
mercurial; his seemingly mesmeric persona, floccose
locks, and empyreal garb garnered him a prophet-like
aura in the West. His "elegant prose and magical poetry"
remain largely unknown outside Bengal.[3]
