Margot K. Louis

Persephone Rises, 1860-1927 (eBook, ePUB)

Mythography, Gender, and the Creation of a New Spirituality

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the first comprehensive survey of the Persephone myth in English and American literature of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Margot Louis explores the rapid evolution of the goddess from decorative metaphor to the embodiment of a new spirituality. Louis traces Persephone's progress from her origin in ancient myth through poetry and prose of the Romantic, Victorian, and Modernist periods, uncovering how deeply the study of ancient spirituality is entwined with controversies about gender, values, and religion.
