Description
Book SynopsisAn Earthy Entanglement with Spirituality offers compelling perspectives on literature and art whose common ground lies in their diverse evocations of the human spirit. Contributors consider the over-arching inquiry broadly, applying distinct critical and theoretical approaches to diverse primary sources, including poetry of various genres and periods, Shakespearean drama and contemporary theater, nineteenth-century painting, Italian Renaissance sculpture, and the novel, short story, and dialogue. The volumes images and graphics add to the value and accessibility of its criticism, and its contents address particular needs of its intended audiences: novice explorers of the Arts and Humanities, knowledgeable generalists, aficionados of a particular author or period, advanced students and researchers seeking fresh insights or critical footholds, and readers with spiritual, ethical, or theological interests. Teachers and critics of literature will find useful and productive ideas, contexts, models, and resources. Well-wrought furniture for the mind and substantial fare for the spirit lie within.
