Description
Palgrave MacMillan Modernist Mythopoeia The Twilight of the Gods 2015 Edition by S. Freer
Modernist Mythopoeia argues that the experimental modernist form of mythopoeia was directed towards expressing a range of metaphysical perspectives that fall between material secularism and dogmatic religion. The book is a timely addition to the 'post-secular' debate as well as to the 'return of religion' in modernist studies.
