First published in 1936 in keeping with Tagore’s wish for an anthology, the poems and plays included in this volume are translations from the Bengali. ‘Collected Poems and Plays of Rabindranath Tagore’ was first published in 1936 in keeping with Tagore’s wish for an anthology. But the title of the original volume was really a misnomer as the works compiled were selected and not collected. The Poems and Plays included are translations from the Bengali. But Tagore himself did not translate all of them. i.e. ‘The Post Office’ was translated by Debabrata Mukhopadhyay and ‘The Cycle of Spring’ by C F Andrews and Nishikanta Sen. The collection also includes ten later poems which Tagore wrote after 1921 like ‘The Son of Man’ and ‘Boro-Budur’
