- The product of six years’ research, this work projects previously compartmentalized writers into a form of creative conjunction sustained by an innovative comparative approach. The account treats ten principal writers and twenty texts, with shorter discussions of several others. It promotes carefully selected works that have languished owing to their uninviting complexity or else to their unjustified critical neglect. The interdisciplinary perspective draws on the discourses of religion, geography, linguistics, philosophy, medicine, and psychoanalysis. The theoretical underpinning is informed by a variety of Anglo-American as well as European sources. The allusive and universalizing style ranges from the Kabbalah to Klimt.
