Title: Through a glass, darkly
Description: "The question this book addresses is whether it is possible to get an almost face-to-face intimacy with various forms of cultural tradition and modernity by using our experiences and our powers of imagination, i.e. our expectations, in a more fruitful way." "The contributors to this book try to give answers to this weighty question by taking as a guideline Erasmus's famous motto, i.e. always go to the sources."--Jacket.
