Highlighting recent and new directions in contemporary research in the field, So Conceived and So Dedicated offers a complete and updated picture of intellectual life in the Civil War–era Union. Compiling essays from both established and young historians, this volume addresses the role intellectuals played in framing the conflict and implementing their vision of a victorious Union.Broadly defining “intellectuals” to encompass doctors, lawyers, sketch artists, college professors, health reformers, and religious leaders, the essays address how these thinkers disseminated their ideas, sometimes using commercial or popular venues and organizations to implement what they believed.Offering a vast range of perspectives on how northerners thought about,experienced, and responded to the Civil War, So Conceived and So Dedicated is organized around three questions: To what extent did educated Americans believe that the Civil War exposed the failure of old ideas? Did the Civil War promote new strains of authoritarianism in northern intellectual life or did the war reinforce democratic individualism? How did the Civil War affect northerners’ conception of nationalism and their understanding of their relationship to the state?Essays explore myriad topics, including: how antebellum ideas about the environment and the body influenced conceptions of democratic health; how leaders of the Irish American community reconciled their support of the United States and the Republican Party with their allegiances to Ireland and their fellow Irish immigrants; how intellectual leaders of the northern African American community explained secession, civil war, and emancipation; the influence of southern ideals on northern intellectuals; wartime and postwar views from college and university campuses; the ideological acrobatics that professors at midwestern universities had to perform in order to keep their students from leaving the classroom; and how northern sketch artists helped influence the changing perceptions of African American soldiers over the course of the war.Collectively, So Conceived and So Dedicated offers relevant and fruitful answers to the nation’s intellectual history and suggests that antebellum modes of thinking remained vital and tenacious well after the Civil War.

History is one of the most important cultural tools to make sense of one’s situation, to establish identity, define otherness, and explain change. This is the first systematic scholarly study that analyses the complex relationship between history and religion, taking into account religious groups both as producers of historical narratives as well as distinct topics of historiography. Coming from different disciplines, the authors of this volume ask under which conditions and with what consequences religions are historicised. How do religious groups employ historical narratives in the construction of their identities? What are the biases and elisions of current analytical and descriptive frames in the History of Religion? The volume aims at initiating a comparative historiography of religion and combines disciplinary competences of Religious Studies and the History of Religion, Confessional Theologies, History, History of Science, and Literary Studies. By applying literary comparison and historical contextualization to those texts that have been used as central documents for histories of individual religions, their historiographic themes, tools and strategies are analysed. The comparative approach addresses circum-Mediterranean and European as well as Asian religious traditions from the first millennium BCE to the present and deals with topics such as the origins of religious historiography, the practices of writing and the transformation of narratives.

"Devoted to Nature explores the religious underpinnings of American environmentalism, tracing the theological character of American environment thought from their Romantic foundations to contemporary discourse about nature spirituality. This history is most readily visible during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, when religious sources tangibly shaped ideas about the natural world, recreational practices, and modes of social and political interaction. The roots of the environmental movement evidence explicitly Christian understandings of salvation, redemption, and progress, which provided the context for Americans enthusiastic about the out-of-doors and established the horizons of possibility for the national environmental imagination"--Provided by publisher.

Le croisement des démarches spécifiques à l'hagiographie, l'histoire, l'archéologie, la philologie, la linguistique, concourt à mettre en relief le rôle joué à travers les siècles par le monachisme (dont Landévennec représente l'un des foyers éminents en Bretagne) dans les échanges culturels et les relations sociales depuis le haut Moyen Âge jusqu'à nos jours. Le christianisme est « une religion d'historien »... L'affirmation, empruntée à Marc Bloch, confère sa cohérence à cette « Couronne monastique ». La portée des sources hagiographiques de la Bretagne ne peut se saisir que dans le contexte d'une production à l'échelle de la Chrétienté médiévale qui permet des rapprochements significatifs. Elle doit être replacée dans un réseau d'échanges dont on peut entrevoir ici l'extension. On perçoit ainsi l'une des fonctions essentielles de cette littérature destinée à alimenter les offices et la liturgie que rythment la Règle et le son des cloches. Les communications qui s'attachent à faire « entendre » le parfum de la langue, au carrefour de l'oral et de l'écrit, mettent l'accent sur les apports de la linguistique, de l'onomastique ou de la sémantique à notre perception de la culture médiévale. Une série d'études projette un éclairage renouvelé sur l'histoire religieuse de la Bretagne et des pays celtiques sur la longue durée, depuis les origines, durant le haut Moyen Âge, jusqu'au siècle qui vient de s'achever.Plus d'une trentaine d'intervenants aux journées d'études du CIRDoMoC (Centre International de Recherche et de Documentation sur le Monachisme Celtique) accueillis chaque année depuis 1987 par l'abbaye de Landévennec ont tenu à présenter au père Marc Simon, en gage de gratitude à l'occasion de son quatre-vingtième anniversaire, de nouvelles contributions qui reflètent la diversité des perspectives envisagées lors de ces sessions.
