Studies in the Marvellous (Paperback)


1910. Throughout the course of romance on element occurs continually, the marvellous. In the literature of every age its presence is provocative of pleasure or criticism upon the part of the reading or learned public. In the myth and legend of the barbarian it multiplies under religious and faithful sanction. With the rise of a critical philosophy it is subjected to searching analysis; but no philosophy or science of a few can check its advance, for it lives perennially in the hearts and in the superstitions of the ignorant masses. Contents: Greek Criticism of Fiction and Marvel; Psychology of Wonder; Wonder in Primitive Mind, Custom and Belief; Wonder in Central Australian Belief and Story.
