La possibilité d’une île : la mythologie du Bronx, archipel enchanté, dans trois textes autobiographiques de Jerome Charyn by Sophie Vallas

“…This paper proposes to see Charyn’s nostalgic painting of the Bronx in the 1940s first as a historically documented evocation, but also as a mythologizing enterprise: as the reader follows Charyn from one mythical landmark to the next, he realizes that an imaginary geography, a magical cartography of the Bronx are being drawn before his eyes while a powerful Melvillian intertext puts the final touches to the recollection of an "evilly enchanted ground". …”

From a first examination of the cultural environment – textual and iconographical – of the unicorn’s appearance, it would seem that the symbolic substance of this animal motif was imbued with the notions of the high virtues of the Christian ideological system (e.g. virginity, purity, salvation). …”
