La culture chrétienne est constitutive de notre littérature comme la mythologie est constitutive de la littérature antique. Ce manuel en propose les rudiments, aujourd’hui méconnus, insistant sur les structures conceptuelles qui les sous-tendent. Cet accent mis sur le sens devrait permettre de retrouver l’état d’esprit des écrivains et de leurs publics, et, par suite, d’accéder à une meilleure perception des textes, aussi bien littéraires que philosophiques ou historiques. Ce manuel s’adresse prioritairement aux étudiants en lettres, à qui une partie pratique présente quelques exemples d’application simple des connaissances acquises à l’analyse de textes du Moyen Âge à nos jours. Mais il pourra rendre bien des services à ceux qui étudient l’histoire, la sociologie, ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui sont concernés par l’histoire des idées. Nous espérons encore offrir aux professeurs soucieux d’enrichir ou de varier leur enseignement un moyen simple d’aborder ce point de vue essentiel, et à tout amateur cultivé, des clés pour mieux comprendre ses racines ainsi que des outils (bibliographie, index) qui le guideront dans l’approfondissement de ses connaissances.

"The first book-length study to explore the links between Christianity and modern Japanese literature, this book analyses the process of conversion of nine canonical authors, unveiling the influence that Christianity had on their self-construction, their oeuvre and, ultimately, the trajectory of modern Japanese literature. Building significantly on previous research, which has treated the intersections of Christianity with the Japanese literary world in only a cursory fashion, this book emphasizes the need to make a clear distinction between the different roles played by Catholicism and Protestantism. In particular, it argues that most Meiji and Taish? intellectuals were exposed to an exclusively Protestant and mainly Calvinist derivation of Christianity and so it is against this worldview that the connections between the two ought to be assessed. Examining the work of authors such as Kitamura T?koku, Akutagawa Ry?nosuke and Nagayo Yoshir?, this book also contextualises the spread of Christianity in Japan and challenges the notion that Christian thought was in conflict with mainstream literary schools. As such, this book explains how the dualities experienced by many modern writers were in fact the manifestation of manifold developments which placed Christianity at the center, rather than at the periphery, of their process of self-construction. The Dilemma of Faith in Modern Japanese Literature will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese modern literature, as well as those interested in Religious Studies and Japanese Studies more generally."--Provided by publisher.

Beginning with a wide-ranging introduction that explains why a theological reading of Victorian fiction is both rewarding and timely, Perkin also addresses religion's return to prominence in the twenty-first century, confounding earlier predictions of its imminent demise. Chapters on William Thackeray, Charlotte Brontë, Charlotte Yonge, Anthony Trollope, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy are followed by a concluding discussion of Mary Ward and Walter Pater that relates Pater's Marius the Epicurean to postmodern theology and shows how it remains a religious classic for our own time.

In Part 1 Hill examines the effect of the idea of spatial infinity on seventeenth-century literature, arguing that the metaphysical cosmology of Nicholas of Cusa provided Renaissance writers, such as Pascal, Traherne, and Milton, with a way to construe the vastness of space as the symbol of human spiritual potential. Focusing on time in Part 2, Hill reveals that, faced with the inexorability of time, Christian humanists turned to St Augustine to develop a philosophy that interpreted temporal passage as the necessary condition of experience without making it the essence or ultimate measure of human purpose. Hill's analysis centres on Shakespeare, whose experiments with the shapes of time comprise a gallery of heuristic time-centred fictions that attempt to explain the consequences of human existence in time. Infinity, Faith, and Time reveals that the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were a period during which individuals were able, with more success than in later times, to make room for new ideas without rejecting old beliefs.
