Land And Literature In A Cosmopolitan Age by Vincent P. Pecora, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

European culture after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 was no stranger to ancient beliefs in an organic, religiously sanctioned, and aesthetically pleasing relationship to the land. The many resonances of this relationship form a more or less coherent whole, in which the supposedcosmopolitanism of the modern age is belied by a deep commitment to regional, nationalist, and civilizational attachments, including a justifying theological armature, much of which is still with us today. This volume untangles the meaning of the vital geographies of the period, including how theyshaped its literature and intellectual life. | Land And Literature In A Cosmopolitan Age by Vincent P.
