Ulysses and Faust: Tradition and Modernism from Homer till the
Present examines the most important authors of Western literature:
Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Marlowe, Goethe,
Joyce, Eliot, Mann, Bulgakov and Pasternak, who based their works
on one or other of the two key myths of the West, Ulysses and
Faust. This volume provides a synoptic view of Western literature,
as a foundation text for literary studies at all levels and as a
way of encouraging people to once more engage with the major
authors of our literary heritage. Ulysses and Faust considers the
artistic revolution known as Modernism at the start of the
twentieth century and the subsequent events in Europe, such as the
World Wars and the totalitarian regimes, which led to a major break
in Western civilization reflected in its literature. Consequently,
these detailed critical studies illuminate their authors'
Weltanschauung, their view of life as it was lived in their time.
