Interrogating how we define, experience, and study literature, this issue of Mosaic explores a series of relationships: between literature and its readers, between students and teachers; between illustrators, authors, and texts; and between disparate texts. Included are essays on Chaucer and James Joyce, Socrates, John Cleland and the Marquis d’Argens, Friedrich Nietzsche and Nikos Kazantzakis, Michel Butor, Joseph Conrad, and Hugo von Hofmannsthal.
