In the romantic age, Goethe's completed Faust established a new epochal standard for probing the story of human spiritual development over millennia. Heirs to this rich tradition, authors such as Mann and Joyce felt liberated to re-examine mythological patterns and varieties of religious consciousness as a crucial heritage against the backdrop of modern strains of negation and deconstruction of belief systems. Combining self-critical irony with brilliant depictions of literary and psycho-historical avatars, their novels finally suggest a spiritual super-reality that emerges from the colossal repertory of evolutionary evidence.
