Volume 12, Tome IV

Kierkegaard's influence permeates Anglophone literature and art, particularly in the U.S., where his ideas resonate in the works of notable novelists such as Walker Percy, James Baldwin, and Flannery O'Connor. His philosophical concepts have also shaped the critiques of George Steiner and Harold Bloom, as well as the compositions of Samuel Barber. British and Irish writers like W.H. Auden and James Joyce have similarly drawn inspiration from him, with contemporary authors like David Lodge incorporating Kierkegaard's themes into their narratives.
