Annotation |
The chapter titled "Mediterranean Love" discusses two essays Weil wrote, two years apart for Cahiers Sud. Passerini considers the essays within a larger discussion of the themes of Europe and love. She focuses on Weil's essay on the Languedoc civilization written under the pseudonym Emile Novis, paying particular attention to Weil's criticism of the Catholic church and its role in the destruction of this civilization. |
