Description
Olga Freidenberg's Image and Concept: Mythopoetic Roots of Literature explores the origins of Greek tragedy, tracing the development of literature from mythological thinking to formal-logical concepts. This transition, she argues, gave rise to poetic figurality as mythological forms were reinterpreted conceptually.
The book examines how the reinterpretation of folkloric material led to its differentiation into various disciplines such as religion, philosophy, ethics, literature, and art. Despite this differentiation, the formal preservation of poetic image, structure, and plot remained intact.
