This review is from: Rabindranath Tagore: A Study of Women Characters in His Novels (Hardcover)
Hi Readers, I'm thrilled to be here on Amazon.com and to share my views directly with you. Rabindranath Tagore, the first Indian recipient of Noble Prize in literature, is synonymous with hs world renowned,'Gitanjali'.Very few knew his novels, which were originally written in Bengali and translated into English. My book contains a comprehensive critical analysis of his novels with special emphasis on the women characters, as evidenced form the title. Tagore depicts the Indian society especially the women of his period i.e. the late nineteenth century and the first three decades of twentieth century. He shows the reapid progress of Indian women from being mere dumb housewives in themale dominated Hindu society to revolutionaries fighting for Indian freedom from th British rule. The has attracted favorable reviews from literary journals like 'Indiian Journal' and National dailes like'The Hindu', Madras. I believe that the book attract the general reader as well as who specialises Indian Writing in English.
