Resumen
DOMINGUEZ MARQUEZ, Guadalupe Antonia. On the enchanted side of modernity: messianism and occultism in the expressionist novels by Gustav Meyrink. Acta poét [online]. 2022, vol.43, n.1, pp.41-65. Epub 25-Abr-2022. ISSN 2448-735X. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2022.43.1.458723.
This article analyses the work of the Austrian novelist Gustav Meyrink (1868-1932), who, between the years 1913 and 1927, published five fantastic novels in which several elements of late Twentieth Century Occultism prevail, in contrast to the historical context in which they were written, compelled by positivist scientism. From these esoteric and expressionist texts, we can build insight into a reading of modernity influenced by theosophy and eastern religions, as well as other spiritual currents, which show the multiple complexities of modernity.
