About the Book

Rabindranather Nabajatak Pather Bahumatrikata (Bengali Version) is a comprehensive critical study of Nabajatak, one of the significant poetry collections from the final phase of Rabindranath Tagore’s literary career. As a poet whose creative genius continually evolved throughout his life, Rabindranath's later works reveal new dimensions of thought, emotion, and artistic experimentation. Nabajatak stands as an important testament to this mature stage of his poetic journey.

The poems in this collection reflect what Rabindranath himself described as a change of season, while readers and critics often perceive them as a transformation in poetic taste, perspective, and sensibility. Rich in thematic variety and intellectual depth, the poems address a wide range of concerns that continue to engage readers through their philosophical insight, emotional resonance, and artistic sophistication.

Edited by Mridul Ghosh, this volume brings together the critical perspectives of both senior and emerging scholars who have examined Nabajatak from diverse angles. The collection offers a multidimensional exploration of the work’s themes, style, imagery, and intellectual foundations, helping readers appreciate the complexity and richness of Rabindranath’s late poetry.

The book includes sixteen research-oriented essays that investigate important aspects of the collection, including contemporary social consciousness, reflections on the historical context of the Second World War, ideas of nation and homeland, philosophical inquiry, and elements of romantic sensibility. In addition, the contributors provide detailed analyses of twenty-two individual poems, offering fresh interpretations and critical insights into their meaning and artistic structure.

By combining literary criticism, historical context, and thematic exploration, Rabindranather Nabajatak Pather Bahumatrikata provides a deeper understanding of one of Rabindranath Tagore’s important later works. It is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, teachers, and readers interested in Rabindra studies, modern Bengali poetry, and literary criticism.
