Mosaic’s first issue explores the relationship between literature and history. It includes essays on a diverse range of literatures, including Icelandic sagas, Canadian writing, Crime and Punishment, and the Old Testament, and the histories that they illuminate or contest. Ernst Fischer’s translated essay “Chaos and Form” questions the end of humanism and asks how the future of the human might be transitioned and reborn through the chaos of the past and present.
