The Enlightenment was characterized, as Arnold put it, as "sweetness and light". Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and Artaud each pushed back against the optimism of the Enlightenment through their writing and advanced the idea of cruelty as lying at the root of all human nature and culture. In this study, Statkiewicz explores the seemingly opposing notions of culture and cruelty within the works of these authors to discuss their complex relationship with one another. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm, $d 1844-1900 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Dostoyevsky, Fyodor, $d 1821-1881 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Artaud, Antonin, $d 1896-1948 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Artaud, Antonin, $d 1896-1948. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00033589 600 17 $a Dostoyevsky, Fyodor, $d 1821-1881. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032733 600 17 $a Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm, $d 1844-1900. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031611 650 0 $a Cruelty in literature. 650 0 $a Nihilism in literature. 650 0 $a Pessimism in literature. 650 7 $a Pessimism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01058967 650 7 $a Nihilism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01037713 650 7 $a Cruelty in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00884358 650 7 $a Culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885059 650 7 $a Cruelty. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00884353 650 7 $a Enlightenment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912527 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015002.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0748528E9F4311EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
