Christ and Apollo: The Dimensions of the Literary Imagination

The literary process is a highly cognitive passage through the finite and definite realities of humans and the world, says Catholic philosopher and critic Lynch (1908-87), and any effort to keep literature in its rightful relationship with the human and the real is a service to truth, civilization, and literature itself. The title is his proclamation of a new model to replace Nietzsche and Spengler's Dionysus and Apollo. This is a reprint of a 1960 work published by Sheed and Ward, New York.
