Abstract

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.

Abstract

Christians in post-Reformation England inhabited a culture of conversion. Required to choose among rival forms of worship, many would cross - and often recross - the boundary between Protestantism and Catholicism. This study considers the poetry written by such converts, from the reign of Elizabeth I to that of James II, concentrating on four figures: John Donne, William Alabaster, Richard Crashaw, and John Dryden. Murray offers a context for each poet's conversion within the era's polemical and controversial literature. She also elaborates on the formal features of the poems themselves, demonstrating how the language of poetry could express both spiritual and ecclesiastical change with particular vividness and power. Proposing conversion as a catalyst for some of the most innovative devotional poetry of the period, both canonical and uncanonical, this study will be of interest to all specialists in early modern English literature.

Abstract

Die Beiträge des DFG-Symposions 2006 fragen nach den Möglichkeitsbedingungen dessen, was die Literaturwissenschaft als mittelalterliche und frühneuzeitliche "Literatur" kennt: Diese konstituiert sich überwiegend in Bezug auf religiöse Rede und Praxis sowie in Unterscheidung von ihr. Dabei spielen semantische wie wissensgeschichtliche, kommunikationspragmatische wie medienanthropologische Bezugsebenen gleichermaßen eine Rolle.Tiefgreifende Wandlungen im Verhältnis der vormodernen epistemischen und institutionellen Ordnungen des Literarischen und des Religiösen treten in den Einzeluntersuchungen aus der Germanistischen Mediävistik und Frühneuzeitforschung sowie aus Anglistik, Geschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Romanistik, Soziologie, Theologie- und Kirchengeschichte je exemplarisch in den Blick. Nicht zuletzt werden solche Wandlungen am "Anderen der Kommunikation" beobachtet: an jenen Über-Sprüngen in die Transzendenz oder an Präsenzeffekten des Repräsentationellen, deren Erschließung zugleich Rücksicht auf die Geltungsansprüche und Sozialdimensionen von literarischer und religiöser Kommunikation voraussetzt. Insofern geht es stets auch um eine aktuelle Standortbestimmung der Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaften.
