Ponomareff, Constantin V., author. Spiritual Geography of Modern Writing: : Essays on Dehumanization, Human Isolation and Transcendence / Constantin V. Ponomareff. Amsterdam : BRILL, 1997. 1 online resource (132 pages). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Internationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ; Volume 22 Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. This collection of essays deals with the spiritual crisis in modern society and focusses in particular on European writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. The essays trace themes of spiritual unease, narrowing of inner human space, impoverishment of the self, growing human isolation, dehumanization, and the writers' attempts to overcome this malaise. The essays also try to show how inhuman political and social environments and feelings of cultural impasse can become mitigated and reclaimed by socially conscious acts of creative writing. Obsession, self-delusion, creative frustration and personal tragedy are seen to haunt this kind of modern writing which is at the same time infused with the writers' profound sense of moral responsibility to society and marked, on occasion, by that rare experience of Epiphany and transcendence.
