Girard’s mimetic theory has a way of altering your whole way of seeing the world once you discover it. And this now classic piece of scholarship will introduce you to it through the close and groundbreaking analysis of five classic novels. A revelation. (If you really want to go down the Mimetic Theory rabbit hole this may help you)
