A Language of Things
Author: Devin P. Zuber
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813943523
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Long overlooked, the natural philosophy and theosophy of the Scandinavian scientist-turned-mystic Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772) made a surprising impact in America. Thomas Jefferson, while president, was so impressed with the message of a Baltimore Swedenborgian minister that he invited him to address both houses of Congress. But Swedenborgian thought also made its contribution to nineteenth-century American literature, particularly within the aesthetics of American Transcendentalism. Although various scholars have addressed how American Romanticism was affected by different currents of Continental thought and religious ideology, surprisingly no book has yet described the specific ways that American Romantics made persistent recourse to Swedenborg for their respective projects to re-enchant nature. In A Language of Things, Devin Zuber offers a critical attempt to restore the fundamental role that religious experience could play in shaping nineteenth-century American approaches to natural space. By tracing the ways that Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Muir, and Sarah Orne Jewett, among others, variously responded to Swedenborg, Zuber illuminates the complex dynamic that came to unfold between the religious, the literary, and the ecological. A Language of Things situates this dynamic within some of the recent "new materialisms" of environmental thought, showing how these earlier authors anticipate present concerns with the other-than-human in the Anthropocene.

Getting Into Heaven--and Out Again!
Author: Albrecht Gralle
Publisher: Swedenborg Foundation
ISBN: 9780877853442
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
In this fanciful tour of the afterlife, Albrecht Gralle poses some hard-hitting questions: What if anyone could get into heaven? Would you want to go? Is it really possible for a rational person to believe in a God who can't been seen or touched, who would permit so much suffering in the world? Grounded in descriptions of heaven and hell from Swedish scientist-turned-theologian Emanuel Swedenborg, this exploration of the worlds of spirit speaks to anyone with doubts about spiritual belief.
