This volume provides a critical overview of key issues and historical developments in the concept of innocence, delving into its ambivalences and exploring within literature and theology. This interdisciplinary collection discusses major symbols and themes surrounding innocence, including purity and sexuality, childhood and inexperience, nostalgia and utopianism, morality and virtue. This book examines the significance of innocence as both a concept and a word, revealing how innocence has progressed through centuries of dramatic alterations, secularizations and subversions, while retaining an enduring relevance as a key concept in human thought, experience, and imagination.
