| Sumario: | This study focuses on texts exploring human proclivity to violent behaviour. Building on the anthropological insights of René Girard, and on the premise that literature is a reflection of a cultural moment, Cury³³o-Klag shows how early modernism registers symptoms of crisis which even the outbreak of World War I failed to resolve.
