Using gender and modernity as keystones, this book traces Rabindranath Tagore's evolution as a novelist by analyzing texts such as Chokher Bali, Gora and The Home and the World. Arguing that they cannot be readily assimilated within conventional theoretical frameworks, it explores his reflections on self, sexuality, society and nationalism, reinforcing their complexity and relevance.
