Description
The Work of Enchantment by Matthew Del Nevo explores the concept of "enchantment" and its role in shaping our experiences. Del Nevo argues that a lack of enchantment in modern society contributes to mental health issues, and that adults can cultivate this sense through art and other activities often overlooked in industrial societies. Through literary analysis, Del Nevo examines how enchantment is present in works such as those by Proust, Rilke, and Goethe. He shows how enchantment forms within and between artworks, and how it relates to the power of words, melancholy, and art that points beyond itself. This book offers a unique perspective on literature and culture, making it relevant to those seeking meaning beyond materialism. Accessible to non-specialist readers, The Work of Enchantment is written in an engaging and clear style, free from jargon and complicated language.
