Der Begriff ,Kunstreligion' ist seit seiner prominenten Formulierung in Schleiermachers Reden über die Religion (1799) etabliert. Statt in Schleiermachers Theologie muss der Ursprung des Konzepts jedoch in deren kunstphilosophischen Quellen gesucht werden: in der Ent-Rationalisierung von ,Kunst' im Rahmen der Autonomie-Ästhetik, die das Schöne dem Numinosen angleicht. Als zumindest partielles Äquivalent besitzt die Kunst die Fähigkeit, traditionelle Funktionen der Religion entweder zu usurpieren oder zu substituieren. Sie bedient sich daher ähnlicher Vermittlungsinstanzen wie die Religion: Der Künstler profitiert vom Priester/Heiligen, der Wissenschaftler/Kritiker vom Theologen/Mönch.Der erste von drei Bänden, an dem Literaturwissenschaftler aus Deutschland, Italien und Frankreich mitarbeiten, konzentriert sich auf poetologisch-ästhetische Diskussionen im Spannungsfeld der klassisch-romantischen Kunsttheorien (von Baumgarten über Hamann bis Hegel), die das Schöne von gesellschaftlicher Nützlichkeit entlasten. Zugleich befasst er sich in Fallstudien mit ersten Umsetzungen des Konzepts u.a. in Wackenroder/Tiecks Herzensergießungen eines kunstliebenden Klosterbruders, Hölderlins Hyperion und E.T.A. Hoffmanns Jesuiterkirche in G.

Misericord carvings present a fascinating corpus of medieval art which, in turn, complements our knowledge of life and belief in the late middle ages. Subjects range from the sacred to the profane and from the fantastic to the everyday, seemingly giving equal weight to the scatological and the spiritual alike. Focusing specifically on England - though with cognisance of broader European contexts -this volume offers an analysis of misericords in relation to other cultural artefacts of the period. Through a series of themed "case studies", the book places misericords firmly within the doctrinal and devotional milieu in which they were created and sited, arguing that even the apparently coarse images to be found beneath choir stalls are intimately linked to the devotional life of the medieval English Church. The analysis is complemented by a gazetteer of the most notable instances.

Dr Paul Hardwick is Professor in English, Leeds Trinity University College.

This general survey of early Christian baptismal iconography and architecture integrates visual depictions and physical settings of baptism with textual evidence for its practice and purpose. An opening overview of pictorial art (paintings, relief sculpture, mosaics, and ivories) prompts questions about components of the actual ritual which are treated in the literary sources. The study’s second half considers selected baptismal structures, examining the symbolism, purpose, and possible meaning of their spatial design and decorative programs. In most instances the synthesis of documentary and material evidence is enriching and complementary. However, even when physical and textual data diverge, their discontinuity demonstrates the variability of ritual performance and the perennial distinction between ideal and actual practice..
