Exploring the Emersonian Archetype of ‘The Poet’ in Tagore

Author(s) Prashant Luthra
Country India
Abstract Rabindranath Tagore and Ralph Waldo Emerson stand out among the literary greats as deep thinkers whose ideas have stood the test of time and culture. The idea that the poet is a seer and a channel for universal truths is one that Emerson, a key figure in American transcendentalism, outlined in his influential essay "The Poet." The renowned Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore—the first non-European Nobel Prize in Literature—embodies similar ideas through his spiritually profound and poetically beautiful works. This essay examines how Tagore's practical experience as a poet and Emerson's theoretical ideal of the poet coincide. The research reveals how Tagore embodies and develops Emersonian principles by contrasting his poetry expressions with Emerson's philosophical ideas. The study reflects the attributes Emerson gave to the real poet by shedding light on Tagore's deep connection to nature, his expression of beauty, and his philosophical depth through a comparative examination. This investigation honours their ideas' eternal significance and their words' unwavering capacity to uplift and inspire people.
