Destructive Literature. Cursed and Gifted

Destructive Literature. Cursed and Gifted

New

Before you is a collection of literary portraits – six stories about the fates and creativity of writers who changed the understanding of literature and humanity: George Byron, Oscar Wilde, Charlotte Brontë, Edgar Poe, Virginia Woolf, and Mary Shelley.
The facts... of their biographies intertwine here with the themes of their works and the atmosphere of the time in which they lived and wrote.
The author – a candidate of cultural studies and lecturer – invites us to view literature not so much as an academic discipline, but as a path to understanding the world, oneself, and human nature.
This book can serve as a navigator for anyone studying the history of culture or simply seeking to understand why the words written a hundred years ago still resonate within us today.
