Were all Modernists either sceptical or reactionary in matters of Christian belief? How
can we express ideas of the sacred distinct from religious commitment?
Mythopoeia: The Twilight of the Cods argues that the experimental modernist form
of mythopoeia was directed towards expressing a range of poetic perspectives that
fall between material secularism and dogmatic religion. Modernist mythopoeia is a
literary means of eschewing the language of certainty while giving voice to the nature
and function of transcendence in a post-religious context. As a comparative study,
Scott Freer offers fresh readings on a range of key trans-Atlantic modernist texts,
considering their various mythopoeic methods or visions: Nietzsche’s
Zarathustra,!. S. Eliot s The Waste Land, Franz Kafka s Metamorphosis, Hilda Doolittle s
