Christianity & Theology

Some books refuse a single shelf. The New Republic is a Victorian society novel built from philosophy and caricature. Xiyou bu is a seventeenth-century continuation of Journey to the West that becomes a dream about desire and unstable identity. Otto Rank’s The Myth of the Birth of the Hero sits between comparative mythology and early psychoanalysis.

This part of the catalog is where literary form and intellectual history most visibly meet. The research notes follow edition history, authorship, influence, and the arguments that make these works stranger than their titles first suggest.
