Idyllik im Kontext von Antike und Moderne: Tradition und Transformation eines europäischen Topos
Book information
Description
Beginning with the ancient tradition, this volume examines the historical development and aesthetic manifestations of the idyll and the “idyllic.” Ranging from the Arcadian locus amoenus to the social utopia of “never-never land,” it analyzes canonical literary and artistic works from the points of view of aesthetics, philosophy, and cultural studies to present models of how the concept evolved in the European context.
