Universalist hopes in India and Europe : the worlds of Rabindranath Tagore and Srec̆ko Kosovel
Jelnikar, AnaAuthor
Jelnikar, Ana,editor.
An in-depth comparative study of a close, if rather one-sided, encounter between a Slovenian poet, Srecko Kosovel, and Rabindranath Tagore, whom Kosovel read in translation. While Kosovel took inspiration from his Indian contemporary in the 1920s, the two are seen to share a surprisingly similar set of preoccupations, at the core of which was a creative ideal of universalism rather than nationalism, which both considered exclusivist and, therefore, undesirable.
