This double special issue of Mosaic contains seventeen papers originally presented at an international conference held at the University of Manitoba in 1986, the goal of which was to assert the vitality of interdisciplinary literary scholarship and to celebrate its continuance. The issue, guest-edited by John Teunissen, includes essays on cognitive psychology, classics, religion, medicine, fine arts, education, oral studies, and law. Essay topics range from evil to peace, from painting to law-writing, and from the Gospels to quantum theories. This edition precisely shows the relevance of literature to other fields of study and vice versa.
