Instead, embracing melancholy can be a road back to contact with others and can lead people to productively remap their relationship to the world around them. Flatley demonstrates that a seemingly disparate set of modernist writers and thinkers showed how aesthetic activity can give us the means to comprehend and change our relation to loss.American literature19th centuryHistory and criticismAmerican literature20th centuryHistory and criticismMelancholy in literatureMelancholySocial aspectsModernism (Literature)American literatureHistory and criticism.American literatureHistory and criticism.Melancholy in literature.MelancholySocial aspects.Modernism (Literature)810.9/353HT 5855rvkFlatley Jonathan704628MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807370803321Affective mapping1353367UNINA
