How did we develop our sense of inner life? This book follows Auerbach's Mimesis, journeying over two millennia through Western literature from Bible and Homer to the present to answer this question. We discover discrete and different trends, yet also three overarching, cross-cultural, and cross-temporal themes that endure through time.
