    Narcissus, or The Lover of Himself
    Rousseau, Jean-Jacques
    Narcissus, or The Lover of Himself is a play of staggering mediocrity.

It flopped and never saw the stage again in Rousseau’s lifetime. In his preface to the play, pe...

    Divine Mimesis
    Pasolini, Pier Paolo
    Written between 1963 and 1967, The Divine Mimesis, Pasolini’s imitation of the early cantos of the Inferno, offers a searing critique of Italian society and the intelligentsia of the 1960s. It is also a self-critique by the author of The Ashes of Gramsci (1957) who saw the civic world evoked by that book fading absolutely from view. By the mid-1960s, Pasolini theorized, the Ita...
