Absence of God in Modernist Literature

Discover the intriguing exploration of spirituality and literature in Absence of God in Modernist Literature by G. Erickson. Published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2007, this 236-page paperback delves into the complex interplay between modernist texts and the elusive concept of 'god-ideas.' Erickson employs contemporary insights from continental philosophy and postmodern theology to unravel the hidden and often contradictory notions of divinity found in renowned works such as Henry James's The Golden Bowl, Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man, and Arnold Schoenberg's opera Moses und Aron. This thought-provoking analysis invites readers to reconsider the role of faith and absence in modernist literature. Whether you are a scholar, student, or literature enthusiast, this first edition book offers a rich and engaging perspective on the spiritual dimensions of modernist texts.
