Kierkegaard and the Treachery of Love
Amy Laura Hall (Author)
This is a major study of Kierkegaard and love. In Kierkegaard's works, the characters are, as in real life, complex and incomplete, and the conclusions are perplexing. Hall argues that a spiritual void brings each text into being, and her interpretation is as much about faith as about love.
