Resumen

The aim of this article is to make a critical reading of the novella The Home and the World (1915), by Rabindranath Tagore, focusing on the emancipation of Bengal and the new role of women at the beginning of the twentieth century during the Swadeshi movement: the boycott to English goods to back up Indian industry after the arbitrary division of Bengal by Lord Curzon (1905). This discussion is based on Tagore’s book on Nationalism (1917) as well as Walter Benjamin’s considerations on allegory (1928).
