Creative Mimesis of Emotion - from Sorrow to Elation; Elegiac (Analecta Husserliana Volume Lxii) 1st edition

Are emotions, feelings, sentiments not the stuff of literature? That is where they project their `inner logic' of aesthetic transmutation; there, beyond the instrument of language that they command. This collection explores how the lyrical virtualities of life-experience and the elegiac style in literature share a common core, lifting the human significance of life from abysmal vitality to esoteric heights, from abysmal grief to a serene reconciliation with destiny.
The `elegiac sequence' in the play of emotions, feelings, sentiments brings together life and literary creativity in its transformatory power.
