In the years 1910-1930, the Indian Rabindranath Tagore was the first living Asian writer to enjoy a world literary fame, which led him to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. In the years preceding World War One and in the early 1920s, the circulation of his work in Europe was a two-phase process. First, in terms of location, his work circulated from India to England, and then from England to the other countries. Second, his books were translated from Bengalese to English, before being translated into other European languages. These multiple mediations and these period changes were not without consequences. As a result, Tagore's work was not only read in Europe, but in India, Asia, and across the global world. This article tries to seize the way in which the writer viewed Europe as well as his reception on the continent.
