This book traces the return of pagan divinities to Western literature, from their first appearance at the beginning of the modern era to their place in the literature of our own time...
Off to 'karendawn' in the US.

I'm not sure what to make of this book, or to be more specific, I'm not sure what I got out of this book. It was not what the back cover promised: "Literature and the Gods traces the return of pagan divinities to Western literature, from their first reappearance at the beginning of the modern era to their place in the literature of our own time, and whilst doing so profoundly deepens our understanding of our literary tradition." Yes, the first chapter did start out that way, which I would have liked, but the book progressed to a different place, one that I truly wasn't very interested in and that I find difficult to describe.
