The Artist’s Journey into the Interior and Other Essays is a collection of literary and philosophical essays by Erich Heller, one of the major critics of German and European modern literature.

The essays explore the inward movement of modern art and writing, examining figures such as Goethe, Kafka, Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, Rilke, and other writers whose work shaped modern literary consciousness. Heller writes with a strong interest in the tension between imagination, philosophy, religion, culture, and the modern self.
