Description
This collection includes six lectures delivered in America during Tagore’s second visit there. These lectures were sponsored by the Pond Lyceum in connection with a lecture tour from coast to coast. The essays are a structured exposition of his thoughts on different subjects.
In What is Art? Tagore refuses to define art but questions himself about the reason for its existence. He argues in The world of Personality that the reality of the world belongs to the personality of man and not to reasoning. In Women Tagore comes through as a feminist. He declares, woman cannot be pushed back for good in the mere region of the decorative.
