Popularity of poetry also grew in this period. Biharilal Chakravarti`s (1834-94) Saradamangal (1879) and Sadhar Asan (1888-1889) brought in a breath of fresh air by its tender and refined lyrics.This style of writing even influenced Rabindranath Tagore who himself gave a new meaning to Bengali literature.
Tagore was a poet, novelist, short-story writer, dramatist, essayist and literary critic all rolled into one.No other Bengali had written at such length and breadth of a language and age. He was the first Indian to receive a Nobel Prize, which he got for his poem Gitanjali. The post Tagore age had very few writers of his calibre, some of whom were Sarat Chandra Chatterjee (1876-1938), Prabhatkumar Mukherjee (1873-1932) and Abanindranath Tagore (1871-1951).
