Quality Assessment of Copyright Free Tagoreana: a Study Annals of Library and Information Studies Vol. 58, September 2011, pp. 257-269 Quality assessment of copyright free Tagoreana: a study Partha Pratim Ray Librarian, Institute of Education, Visva-Bharati, West Bengal-731 235, India, Email: [email protected] Rabindranath Tagore gave copyright of his intellectual output to Visva-Bharati. The extended period of copyright ended in December 2001. Private publishers have been free to publish the writings of Rabindranath Tagore since then. The paper attempts to study whether complete and accurate Bengali writings of Ranbindranath Tagore are being published by private publishers. It is observed from the study that a small number of Bengali publishers are publishing only commercially viable titles of Rabindranath Tagore. The prices of the books are lower but are of poor quality with number of mistakes that have been identified in the study. The quality of paper used is also poor.

  • Rabindranath Tagore: a Social Thinker and an Activist a Review of Literature and a Bibliography Kumkum Chattopadhyay, Retd
    2018 Heritage Vol.-V Rabindranath Tagore: a Social Thinker and an Activist A Review of Literature and a Bibliography Kumkum Chattopadhyay, Retd. Associate Professor, Dept. of Political Science, Bethune College, Kolkata-6 Abstract: Rabindranath Tagore, although basically a poet, had a multifaceted personality. Among his various activities his sincerity as a social thinker and activist attract our attention. But this area is till now comparatively unexplored. Many scholars in this area have tried to study Tagore as a social thinker. But so far the findings are scattered and on the whole there is no comprehensive analysis in the strict sense of the term. Hence it is necessary to collect the different findings and to integrate and arrange them within a theoretical framework. This article is an attempt to make a review of literature of the existing books and to prepare a short but sharp bibliography to introduce the area. Key words: Rabindranath Tagore, society, social, political, history, education, Santiniketan, Visva-Bharati Rabindranath Tagore (1861 – 1941) was a prolific writer, a successful music composer, a painter, an actor, a drama director and what not. Besides these talents, he was also a social activist and contributed a lot to Indian social and political thought, although this area has not been very much explored till now. Tagore was emphatic upon society building. So he tried to develop all the component elements which were essential for developing the Indian society. He studied the history of India to follow the trend of its evolution. Next he prepared his programme of action – rural reconstruction and spread of education.

  • Gitanjali Once Again
    CHAPTER VI GITANJALI ONCE AGAIN When William Radice began to translate the poems of Tagore for his Penguin Selected Poems ( 1985) in the late 1970s, he wanted to forget all about Gitanjali, the crowning glory of 'the English Tagore' and decided not to include in his selection any poems from this anthology. As a young translator and Tagore scholar from SOAS, Radice has taken a considerable amount of time to come to terms with Gitanjali, Tagore' s most famous book which helped him to make "his poetic thought ... a part of the literature of the West" (Tagore. 301 ). The main reason for his initial rejection of Gitanjali poems for his selection was that he wanted to "establish his [Tagore's] reputation and credibility as [a] great poet in Bengali, with an output far more complex and variegated than one could tell from his own English translations (Radice 279). His selection included only one poem from the English Gitanjali , 'Arrival' [Agaman], which was the first Tagore poem he translated, though he did not at the time realize it was from Gitanjali ( No.5!), because it comes not from the Bengali book of that name but from Kheya ['The Ferry-Boat', 1906]. Another reason was his reluctance to include songs in his selection and the majority of the poems of Tagore' s Gitanjali are actually songs (Ibid). Thirdly, Radice believes that songs are untranslatable, 'I do not believe you can translate songs, and I have not tried to translate songs in this book' (Radice28). It was because of the untranslatability of songs that he did not take up any 'song­ poem' from Tagore's Gitanjali (1912) for inclusion in his Selected Poems of Tagore as translation policy.
