Beskrivning
Modernism and Religion argues that modernism participated in broader processes of religious change in the twentieth century. The new prominence accorded to immanence and immediacy in religious discourse is carried over into the modernist epiphany. Modernism became mystical. The emergence of Catholic theological modernism, human rights, Christian sociology, and philosophical personalism, which are explored here in relation to the work of David Jones, T. S. Eliot, and H.D., represented a strategic attempt on the part of diverse religious authorities to meet the challenge posed by new mysticism. Orthodoxy was itself made new in ways that resisted the secular demand that religion remain a private undertaking. Modernism and Religion presents the mechanical form and clashing registers of long poems by each of the aforementioned writers as an alternative to epiphanic modernism. Their wavering orthodoxy brings matters from which the secular had previously separated religion back once more into its purview.

Recensioner i media

Callison’s study is a valuable resource both for students of literary modernism who have observed the persistence of religious questions and influences in the modernist period and for students of practical theology, particularly those of us who continue to experience and explore the appeal of various forms of retreat in our own time. Indeed, Callison’s categories of spilt mysticism and wavering orthodoxy provide helpful frameworks to consider the role of Christian spirituality in the arts and religious practices, not only in historical studies but also in contemporary developments and innovations.
