Tagore and Kosztolányi
Tagore and Kosztolányi

Summary/Abstract: Rabindranath Tagore is the universal poet. His works are known everywhere in the world. Tagore in the writings of an East Central European poet looking towards the Occident is the subject of this article. The fervour that the man and his works received diffused over East Central Europe. A close examination of his reception, however, shows that this enthusiasm was a qualified one in almost all places and that there were always voices criticising or dismissing the “oriental sage”.
