The essays in this volume seek to examine the uses to which
concepts of genius have been put in different cultures and times.
Collectively, they are designed to make two new statements. First,
seen in historical and comparative perspective, genius is not a
natural fact and universal human constant that has been only
recently identified by modern science, but instead a categorical
mode of assessing human ability and merit. Second, as a concept
with specific definitions and resonances, genius has performed
specific cultural work within each of the societies in which it had
a historical presence.
