Symbolism and Modernity

About the Book

This is a book for literary and art historians,  writers, artists and any reader interested in the development of literature and art.  These essays deepen our understandings of Hesse and other writers, the influence of Oriental aesthetics, religion and philosophy on Western aesthetics, European Intellectual History, Art History, Literary History, Symbolism, Surrealism, and Theories of Creativity.  These essays also introduce us to a new concept of progress--the relationship between Art and Human Progress and not just Science and Human Progress, which is the emphasis for most moderns.
