Abstract
Though it seems to have re-surfaced in a dramatic way, Rabindranath Tagore’s essay remained untranslated till 2001. Though Tagore only comes to world literature in the end, the essay is an important statement of Tagore’s view of the purpose of human life and the role art in its fruition; indeed, we might consider the essay to be a concise formulation of Tagore’s aesthetic philosophy itself. What Tagore meant by world literature was the essential unity of human experience and therefore of human creativity.
