Klappentext zu „Modernism and Theology “
This is the first book-length study to examine the interface between literary and theological modernisms. It provides a comprehensive account of literary responses to the modernist crisis in Christian theology from a transnational and interdenominational perspective. It offers a cultural history of the period, considering a wide range of literary and historical sources, including novels, drama, poetry, literary criticism, encyclicals, theological and philosophical treatises, periodical publications, and wartime propaganda. By contextualising literary modernism within the cultural, religious, and political landscape, the book reveals fundamental yet largely forgotten connections between literary and theological modernisms. It shows that early-twentieth-century authors, poets, and critics, including Rainer Maria Rilke, T. S. Eliot, and Czeslaw Milosz, actively engaged with the debates between modernist and neo-scholastic theologians raging across Europe. These debates contributed to developing new ways of thinking about the relationship between religion and literature, and informed contemporary critical writings on aesthetics and poetics.

Pressezitat
"Modernism and Theology: Rainer Maria Rilke, T. S. Eliot, Czeslaw Milosz is an academic monograph of high quality. ... Time and again, as a reader of this book, I am made aware of the undiminished actuality ... which occupied the minds of theological and literary thinkers ... . In spite of being a work of immensely careful and detailed scholarship concentrated on a defined period in the past ... it keeps the Modernist chapter wide open to the present." (Jean Ward, Konteksy Kultury, Vol. 19 (3), 2022)
