While Kierkegaard is perhaps known best as a religious thinker and
philosopher, there is an unmistakable literary element in his
writings. He often explains complex concepts and ideas by using
literary figures and motifs that he could assume his readers would
have some familiarity with. This dimension of his thought has
served to make his writings far more popular than those of other
philosophers and theologians, but at the same time it has made
their interpretation more complex. Kierkegaard readers are
generally aware of his interest in figures such as Faust or the
Wandering Jew, but they rarely have a full appreciation of the vast
extent of his use of characters from different literary periods and
traditions. The present volume is dedicated to the treatment of the
variety of literary figures and motifs used by Kierkegaard. The
volume is arranged alphabetically by name, with Tome I covering
figures and motifs from Agamemnon to Guadalquivir.
