This book examines 'great ideas'- the term used generically to
refer to the deep-seated anxieties that art, religion and
philosophy all seek to address- in relation to a selection of great
literary texts. The texts chosen are those that remain, often
centuries after their appearance, beacons of illumination and
wisdom. The twelve chapters of this book each deal with one great
text and the central idea that propels it. The ideas are examined
as events possessed of their own field of resonance, and it is by
tracing them in their narrative, dramatic or lyrical development
that one can appreciate how these great texts speak as powerfully
as they do to generations of readers.
