Kierkegaard, Literature, and the Arts Kierke gaard, Literature, and the Arts Engraving, ca. 1837, by Carl Strahlheim showing the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin, with what was then the Schauspielhaus, or Theater (center)— now the concert house of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin— flanked by the German Cathedral (left) and the French Cathedral (right). Pictured in the background to the immediate right of the theater is the building, still standing today, in which Kierkegaard lodged during his four stays in Berlin, in 1841– 42, 1843, 1845, and 1846. It was there, as noted by a plaque outside, that Kierkegaard wrote the first drafts of Either/Or, Repetition, and Fear and Trembling.

Owlglass, 1515 218 vii Acknowledgments A number of people deserve my heartfelt thanks for having helped to make possible this volume, which draws together essays by fourteen authors from five different countries. Andrew Burgess and Sylvia Walsh, former co-chairs of the Kierkegaard, Religion, and Culture Group of the American Academy of Religion, encouraged this project from the outset, and they facilitated my initial contact with several authors from whom I solicited revised versions of papers originally presented on panels sponsored by that AAR Group. At every stage of its consideration, review, and production at Northwestern University Press, the volume has benefited from the expertise, meticulousness, and generosity of the individuals involved there: Henry Lowell Carrigan Jr., Maggie Grossman, Liz Hamilton, Marianne Jankowski, Nathan MacBrien, Gianna Francesca Mosser, and J. D. Wilson. The published volume is also stronger as a result of the helpful comments and suggestions made by the anonymous reviewers of its manuscript. Malene Anthon and Ingrid Langhoff of the Ordrupgaard Collection in Copenhagen are to be thanked for granting the permission for, and provid- ing the digitized reproduction of, Johan Thomas Lundbye’s 1841 landscape Søbyvang, which Marianne Jankowski has incorporated so handsomely into this volume’s cover layout. Here at my own institution, Lafayette College, I remain always thank- ful for the dedication and efficiency of both Laura McKee, secretary of the Department of Religious Studies, and the entire staff of the David Bishop Skillman Library. To Lee Upton, my gratitude is in perpetual and ceaseless competition with my boundless admiration for her. ix Abbreviations A Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Aesthetics: Lectures on Fine Art. 2 vols.

  • A Reply to Steven Kepnes Jerome Yehuda Gellman Emeritus, Ben
    Theological Realism and Internal Contradiction: A Reply to Steven Kepnes Jerome Yehuda Gellman Emeritus, Ben-Gurion University Steven Kepnes’s manifesto on behalf of realism about God, “A Program for a Positive Jewish Theology,” deserves wide praise. Too often in Jewish theology we are witness to what the American philosopher William Alston called “transcendentalitis,” a determined desire to re- frain from saying anything at all about God, which for some folk might be but one small step from or equivalent to agnosticism. I have argued elsewhere for theological realism in Jewish thought and thank Kepnes for this important endeavor.1 Kepnes also endorses positive predi- cations of God, in a rejection of negative theology that allows only negations (God is not this, God is not that). Negative theology is not robust enough for the religious life. In my simplest understanding of the terms, a realist engaging in discourse about God in traditional Judaism affirms that God is real, genuine, actual, and existent independent of our or anyone else’s thinking of God. A non-realist engaging in discourse about God in tradi- tional Judaism denies that God is real, genuine, actual, and independently existent. A non- realist could be a “fictionalist,” thinking of “God” as an imaginative fiction designed to express and encourage one’s commitment to a particular religious way of life.2 Or a non-real- ist might treat “God-talk” as an emotively fitting way to relate to well-appreciated features of life and the world with some combination of gratitude and wonder at being alive, or the like.

  • Patrick Kragelund, Nathanson, Eckersberg's Moses, and Danish
    RIHA Journal 0119 | 7 May 2015 Nathanson, Eckersberg's Moses, and Danish Haskalah ('Reformed Judaism')* Patrick Kragelund Peer review and editing managed by: Elisabeth Kofod-Hansen, Danmarks Kunstbibliotek / The Danish National Art Library, Copenhagen Reviewers: Karina Lykke Grand, Kasper Monrad Abstract Among the patrons of the young C. W. Eckersberg (1783-1853), the Jewish merchant M. L. Nathanson (1780-1868) was the most important. A key figure in the process eventually leading to the Danish Jews obtaining complete legal and civic parity (1849), Nathanson can be shown to have pioneered art patronage as a platform for social and cultural integration. His commissions for patriotic "Galleries" (imitating Boydell's British Shakespeare Gallery) and for family portraits illustrate his efforts to give art a new role in this process. Hitherto ignored, so does his commission for a monumental Moses Crossing the Red Sea – a work that in its iconography, as developed by Eckersberg between 1812 and 1817, represents a remarkable fusion of Jewish, Greco-Roman and Christian elements that combined with overt loans from Raphael and Giovanni Donducci gives it a unique place in Eckersberg's oeuvre. Contents Introduction Nathanson and the Danish Art Scene Nathanson and Eckersberg Eckersberg's Moses – an Emblem of Jewish Reform Introduction [1] The bicentenary of Jewish emancipation in Denmark (1814-2014)1 calls for a re- examination of the connection between the foremost of early Dano-Jewish reformers and the painter Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783-1853).2 [2] Mendel Levin Nathanson (1780-1868) hailed from the Jewish community in the then Danish free-trade emporium in Altona just outside the German merchant metropolis of Hamburg, from whence, as a poor, semi-literate boy, he came to Copenhagen to work in the firm of his uncle.3 Gifted, self-taught and energetic, Nathanson soon found success and wealth in the burgeoning Baltic trade.

Cedron, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team Europe (http://dp.rastko.net/) THE TRAGIC MUSE by HENRY JAMES MacMillan and Co., Limited St. Martin's Street, London 1921 PREFACE I profess a certain vagueness of remembrance in respect to the origin and growth of The Tragic Muse, which appeared in the Atlantic Monthly again, beginning January 1889 and running on, inordinately, several months beyond its proper twelve. If it be ever of interest and profit to put one's finger on the productive germ of a work of art, and if in fact a lucid account of any such work involves that prime identification, I can but look on the present fiction as a poor fatherless and motherless, a sort of unregistered and unacknowledged birth. I fail to recover my precious first moment of consciousness of the idea to which it was to give form; to recognise in it--as I like to do in general--the effect of some particular sharp impression or concussion.

Conclusion: God speed the barge 303 Appendix 1 315 Appendix 2 322 Bibliography 323 ii Abstract For Britons in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, “the Atlantic” was not a field of study -- it was an ocean. In this dissertation I argue for an environmentally minded Atlantic history, one that is conscious of the ocean as both a cultural and a physical presence. The ocean shaped an early modern Atlantic vernacular that was at its essence maritime, godly, anxious and sociable. The ocean was a conduit to empire, so anything Britons imagined about the oceans, they imagined about their empire as well. Britons could never fully master their empire because they could never master the ocean; it was source of anxiety for even the wealthiest merchants. The fear of extremity – of wreck and ruin – kept those who crossed the ocean focused on the three most valuable Atlantic commodities: a sound reputation, accurate information, and the mercy of God.

  • Glossary of Literary Terms
    Glossary of Critical Terms for Prose Adapted from “LitWeb,” The Norton Introduction to Literature Study Space http://www.wwnorton.com/college/english/litweb10/glossary/C.aspx Action Any event or series of events depicted in a literary work; an event may be verbal as well as physical, so that speaking or telling a story within the story may be an event. Allusion A brief, often implicit and indirect reference within a literary text to something outside the text, whether another text (e.g. the Bible, a myth, another literary work, a painting, or a piece of music) or any imaginary or historical person, place, or thing. Ambiguity When we are involved in interpretation—figuring out what different elements in a story “mean”—we are responding to a work’s ambiguity. This means that the work is open to several simultaneous interpretations. Language, especially when manipulated artistically, can communicate more than one meaning, encouraging our interpretations. Antagonist A character or a nonhuman force that opposes, or is in conflict with, the protagonist. Anticlimax An event or series of events usually at the end of a narrative that contrast with the tension building up before. Antihero A protagonist who is in one way or another the very opposite of a traditional hero. Instead of being courageous and determined, for instance, an antihero might be timid, hypersensitive, and indecisive to the point of paralysis. Antiheroes are especially common in modern literary works. Archetype A character, ritual, symbol, or plot pattern that recurs in the myth and literature of many cultures; examples include the scapegoat or trickster (character type), the rite of passage (ritual), and the quest or descent into the underworld (plot pattern).

The Devotional Writers and Lutheran Spirituality The heart of Lutheran spirituality is found in Luther’s famous axiom Oratio, Meditatio, Tentatio (prayer, meditation, and affliction). The one who has been declared righteous through faith in Christ the crucified and who has died and rose in Baptism will, as the psalmist says, “delight … in the Law of the Lord and in His Law he meditates day and night” (Psalm 1:2). He will read, mark, learn, and take the Word to heart. Luther writes concerning meditation on the Biblical truths in the preface of the Large Catechism, “In such reading, conversation, and meditation the Holy Spirit is present and bestows ever new and greater light and devotion, so that it tastes better and better and is digested, as Christ also promises in Matthew 18[:20].”1 Through the Word and Sacraments the entire Trinity makes its dwelling in us and we have union and communion with the divine and are conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29; Colossians 3:10).
