This book aims to achieve a deeper understanding of the very human
phenomenon of martyrdom by analysing in detail its highly varied
re-enactments in European and Middle Eastern literatures. Despite
its divergent historical, religious, philosophical or political
circumstances, there does seem to be a certain inner logic, a
metaphorical structure or symbolical subtext underpinning and thus
unifying these heterogeneous literary manifestations of the idea of
martyrdom. In this volume, eighteen researchers from the fields of
literary, historical and religious studies reflect on the way
concepts of martyrdom are represented, staged, praised or
critically deconstructed in different world literatures.
