Her study begins with the origins of the Prometheus myth and then focuses on its transformation into symbol in the 19th century, examining ideas of genius and creation as expressed by Goethe, the Romantic revolution (Byron and Shelley), and artists' masks in the work of Victor Hugo, Franz Liszt, and Honoré de Balzac. Subsequent discussion involves the crisis of faith and further investigation of the many faces of Prometheus.
