The Ironic Christian's Companion
Author: Patrick Henry
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101664711
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
A prominent religious scholar who isn't afraid to shake our assumptions and probe our imaginations, Patrick Henry has written a guide for the "ironic Christian"—one who strives to integrate truth with faith, to let an expanding knowledge of the world translate into an expanded understanding of God. Drawing on the works of a diverse group of writers and thinkers, from C.S. Lewis and Julian of Norwich to Anne Sexton, Yogi Berra, and Dr. Seuss, he explores the ways in which we can maintain our belief in a God defined by mysteriousness. With humor, humility, and courage, he asks us to join him in this spiritual quest—and in the dizzying, thrilling leaps that faith invites.

Essays on German Literature
Author: Michael S. Batts
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442633336
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
The present Festschrift serves a dual purpose: firstly, to honour Professor Joyce Hallamore for her contribution to German studies in Canada, particularly at the University of British Columbia; secondly, to document the flourishing state of German studies in this country. Former and present students of Professor Hallamore were asked to contribute essays from their varied fields of interest which she has stimulated and fostered; furthermore, colleagues across Canada were invited to contribute the results of their research: the broad theme of this second group of essays is the complex relationship between nineteenth and twentieth century literature which has been the centre of Professor Hallamore’s own scholarly work. This volume commemorates Professor Hallamore’s forty years of scholarship and teaching—the time given by her to the University of British Columbia, not only to the formation and growth of the Department of German (which she has headed for some twenty years) but to the expansion of the University as a whole. It demonstrates at the same time through breadth and variety the coming of age of German studies in Canada, which Professor Hallamore has fostered. Although the essays in this volume vary in approach, the result shows a remarkable harmony of outlook, which gives evidence of the authors’ conscious effort to reconsider critically traditional categories and attitudes in literary criticism. This harmony of outlook—found in the whole range of papers from the youngest to the most mature scholar—reflects the spirit and work of the person whom the volume is honouring.

Christian Humanism in Shakespeare
Author: Lee Oser
Publisher: CUA Press
ISBN: 0813235103
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Shakespeare, Lee Oser argues, is a Christian literary artist who criticizes and challenges Christians, but who does so on Christian grounds. Stressing Shakespeare’s theological sensitivity, Oser places Shakespeare’s work in the “radical middle,” the dialectical opening between the sacred and the secular where great writing can flourish. According to Oser, the radical middle was and remains a site of cultural originality, as expressed through mimetic works of art intended for a catholic (small “c”) audience. It describes the conceptual space where Shakespeare was free to engage theological questions, and where his Christian skepticism could serve his literary purposes. Oser reviews the rival cases for a Protestant Shakespeare and for a Catholic Shakespeare, but leaves the issue open, focusing, instead, on how Shakespeare exploits artistic resources that are specific to Christianity, including the classical-Christian rhetorical tradition. The scope of the book ranges from an introductory survey of the critical field as it now stands, to individual chapters on A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Merchant of Venice, the Henriad, Hamlet, and King Lear. Writing with a deep sense of literary history, Oser holds that mainstream literary criticism has created a false picture of Shakespeare by secularizing him and misconstruing the nature of his art. Through careful study of the plays, Oser recovers a Shakespeare who is less vulnerable to the winds of academic and political fashion, and who is a friend to the enduring project of humanistic education. Christian Humanism in Shakespeare: A Study in Religion and Literature is both eminently readable and a work of consequence.

The Humorous and Grotesque Elements in Döblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz
Author: Henrietta S. Schoonover
Publisher: Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Döblin manipulates language to set up the laughter of incongruity. The paradox of linguistic anarchy both attacks and defends the world order. Satire and irony expose weaknesses and faults in the world order; they attack both general human frailty and the specific political failings of the Germans and the Weimar Republic. Picaresque elements and the picaro tradition mock society, describe and criticize «Biberkopf». Grotesque incongruities, developed in the «dunkel»-motif, disclose a world order hostile to man. Consideration of his literary theories determine Döblin's humor as a serious element which allows for both perceiving incongruities in the world order and taking delight in its grand totality.
