Cabaud Meaney offers an overview of what she sees as Weil's role or 'mission' as a non-baptized Christian apologist. After presenting the 'Prologue', believed to be an allegorical account of Weil's mystical experience, Meaney goes on to discuss Weil's relationship to Christianity, Catholicism in particular, as well as her 'mystical' experience, her devotion to the 'Greeks', and her treatment of the stories of Electra and Antigone. |
