This branch embraces the inhabitants of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. The latter be- longs, though merely in a political sense, to Denmark. In the following review of the intellectual life of these nations, as it has, in the course of time, found expression in litera- ture, we propose to consider the inhabitants of the four countries named collectively, although they at the present time, not only in politics, but also in many other respects, possess strongly marked national

KIERKEGAARD AND BYRON: DISABILITY, IRONY, AND THE UNDEAD A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English The University of Mississippi by TROY WELLINGTON SMITH May 2015 Copyright © 2015 by Troy Wellington Smith ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT After enumerating the implicit and explicit references to Lord Byron in the corpus of Søren Kierkegaard, chapter 1, “Kierkegaard and Byron,” provides a historical backdrop by surveying the influence of Byron and Byronism on the literary circles of Golden Age Copenhagen. Chapter 2, “Disability,” theorizes that Kierkegaard later spurned Byron as a hedonistic “cripple” because of the metonymy between him and his (i.e., Kierkegaard’s) enemy Peder Ludvig Møller. Møller was an editor at The Corsair, the disreputable satirical newspaper that mocked Kierkegaard’s disability in a series of caricatures. As a poet, critic, and eroticist, Møller was eminently Byronic, and both he and Byron had served as models for the titular character of Kierkegaard’s “The Seducer’s Diary.” Chapter 3, “Irony,” claims that Kierkegaard felt a Bloomian anxiety of Byron’s influence.

  • 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.

  • Pilgrims to Thule
    MARBURG JOURNAL OF RELIGION, Vol. 22, No. 1 (2020) 1 Pilgrims to Thule: Religion and the Supernatural in Travel Literature about Iceland Matthias Egeler Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Abstract The depiction of religion, spirituality, and/or the ‘supernatural’ in travel writing, and more generally interconnections between religion and tourism, form a broad and growing field of research in the study of religions. This contribution presents the first study in this field that tackles tourism in and travel writing about Iceland. Using three contrasting pairs of German and English travelogues from the 1890s, the 1930s, and the 2010s, it illustrates a number of shared trends in the treatment of religion, religious history, and the supernatural in German and English travel writing about Iceland, as well as a shift that happened in recent decades, where the interests of travel writers seem to have undergone a marked change and Iceland appears to have turned from a land of ancient Northern mythology into a country ‘where people still believe in elves’. The article tentatively correlates this shift with a change in the Icelandic self-representation, highlights a number of questions arising from both this shift and its seeming correlation with Icelandic strategies of tourism marketing, and notes a number of perspectives in which Iceland can be a highly relevant topic for the research field of religion and tourism. Introduction England and Germany have long shared a deep fascination with Iceland. In spite of Iceland’s location far out in the North Atlantic and the comparative inaccessibility that this entailed, travellers wealthy enough to afford the long overseas passage started flocking to the country even in the first half of the nineteenth century.

    Hymnody and Liturgics MUSC205 Fall Semester, 2018 Tuesday, Thursday, 10:30-11:20 Prof. Dennis Marzolf YFAC 209 [email protected] 507-317-9584 Proposed Syllabus, August 3, 2018 Course Description: The history and development of hymnody and liturgical forms in the Western Church, especially as they relate to the Lutheran Divine Service, pedagogy and devotion. Special emphasis on the chorale and hymnody of the traditions of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod. The course integrates the academic disciplines of music, history and theology. Course objectives: Students will demonstrate a conversant knowledge of hymnody in the liturgical life of the church, and articulate the unique doctrinal posture of the Lutheran church as it is reflected in the liturgy of the church. Students are invited to grow in appreciation of the liturgy as a means of Gospel proclamation and teaching in the church, school and home. Hopefully all the students will discover some new “friends” in the world of the Christian worship as a result of this class. By the end of the term students will be able to: 1. identify the four liturgical blueprints of the western Christian tradition, and 2. relate the practices of song to those blueprints (How is the song of the Office different from the Mass, for instance…) 3. explain the relationship between the rule of faith (doctrine) and the way of prayer (liturgy). They will also be able to 4. identify the major themes, personalities, and dates of various eras and events in the history of Christian worship; (Music Outcome 5, religion Outcome 3) 5. describe their longterm impact upon the patterns and content of the liturgy and hymnody of the church.

Ivan Boserup: Saxo-kompendiet og Angers-fragmentet 1 ngers-fragmentet af Saxo Grammaticus, i alt fire pergamentblade i A kvartformat fra ca. 1200, blev første gang publiceret i 1879 af over- bibliotekaren ved Det Kongelige Bibliotek Chr. Bruun (1831-1906).2 Der synes siden da at være opnået en slags konsensus om, at fragmen- tet er en autograf: Det er Saxos egen hånd, såvel i hovedteksten som i tilføjelser mellem linjerne og i marginen på bl.a. fol. 1r, se fig. 1. Tilføjelserne repræsenterer to faser af forfatterens videre stilistiske og indholdsmæssige be- og omarbejdning af den renskrevne grundtekst. Den såkaldte “tredje hånd”, der er i en fra resten af fragmentet stærkt afvigende 1300-tals kursivskrift, er den eneste anden hånd repræsente- ret ud over Saxos egen.

  • 34 Iceland As an Imaginary Place in a European
    ICELAND AS AN IMAGINARY PLACE IN A EUROPEAN CONTEXT – SOME LITERARY REPRESENTATIONS Sveinn Yngvi Egilsson University of Iceland [email protected] Abstract The article focuses on the image of Iceland and Iceland as an imaginary place in literature from the nineteenth century onwards. It is especially concerned with the aesthetics or discourse of the sublime, claiming that it is the common denominator in many literary images of Iceland. The main proponents of this aesthetics or discourse in nineteenth-century Icelandic literature are discussed before pointing to further developments in later times. Among those studied are the nineteenth-century poets Bjarni Thorarensen (1786-1841), Jónas Hallgrímsson (1807- 1845), Grímur Thomsen (1820-1896) and Steingrímur Thorsteinsson (1831-1913), along with a number of contemporary Icelandic writers. Other literary discourses also come into play, such as representing Iceland as "the Hellas of the North", with the pastoral mode or discourse proving to have a lasting appeal to Icelandic writers and often featuring as the opposite of the sublime in literary descriptions of Iceland. Keywords Icelandic literature, Romantic poetry; the discourse of the sublime, the idea of the North; pastoral literature. This article will focus on the image of Iceland and on Iceland as an imaginary place in literature from the nineteenth century onwards. It will especially be concerned with the aesthetics of the sublime, claiming that it is the common denominator in many literary images of Iceland. The main proponents of this aesthetics in nineteenth-century Icelandic literature are discussed before pointing to further developments in later times. By looking at a number of literary works from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, it is suggested that this aesthetics can be seen to continue in altered form into the present day.

  • NICU) Communication in the United States, Denmark, and Sweden
    Listening to Other Cultures: Rhetoric, Healthcare, and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Communication in the United States, Denmark, and Sweden by Kristin Bivens, MA A Dissertation in Technical Communication and Rhetoric Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Approved Amy Koerber, PhD Chair of Committee Kelli Cargile Cook, PhD Ken Baake, PhD Mark Sheridan Dean of the Graduate School May, 2015 Copyright © 2015 Kristin Bivens Texas Tech University, Kristin Bivens, May 2015 Acknowledgements Writing this dissertation has been an act of endurance, humility, exploration, and wonder. It has been a pleasant journey, which has taken me from Chicago to Texas to Copenhagen to Sweden and back again. I am indebted to the support and understanding, first and foremost, of my beloved husband Gustav who nurtures and listens and cares beyond all. He has read and participated from the beginning of this journey, which led me to Scandinavia at his invitation. To you, my s.p., tack så mycket. My interest with nursing and nursing communication began with my family of origin: my mother and my father. My mother is a retired neonatal nurse; and it is my privilege to pay homage to my mother through my dissertation study—in each word, on each page, in each chapter, I honor and value her work. She introduced me to neonatal nursing and the emotional labor it entails, while taking the time to answer my questions (along with RNs at SJH in Springfield, Illinois) and inspiring me to be inquisitive and imaginative.
