The Grove of the Eumenides: Essays on Literature, Criticism, and Culture. Frederick Glaysher
ISBN: 9780967042183. Hardcover. 337 pages. Earthrise Press, 2007. $34.95.
East and West meet in a new synthesis of a global vision of humankind—ranging over classic literature, ancient and modern, both Western and non-Western, from the dilemmas of modernity in Yeats, Eliot, Milosz, Bellow, Dostoevsky, to Lu Xun, Tamura Ryuichi, Kenzaburo Oe, Naguib Mahfouz, R. K. Narayan, among others, from mimesis and deconstruction to the United Nations, with extensive essays on Chinese, Japanese, and South-Asian literature. Glaysher invokes a global vision beyond the prevailing conceptions of life and literature that have become firmly entrenched in contemporary world culture.   Order
