Arcana Coelestia
Tiffany's Swedenborgian Angels
Author: Mary Lou Bertucci
Publisher: Swedenborg Foundation
ISBN: 9780877853398
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In 1902, a Swedenborgian church in Glendale, Ohio, commissioned a set of seven stained-glass windows -- each representing an angel from one of the churches in the book of Revelation -- as a gift for a sister church in Cincinnati. Made by the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany, the windows are a vibrant example of his stunning glasswork. After the church was torn down, the windows were put into storage and forgotten. Recently rediscovered, they have been restored to their former glory and are now part of a traveling exhibition called In Company with Angels. This companion book gives the history and the biblical background to the angels as well as insight into the lessons these angels can teach us today.

A Language of Things
Author: Devin P. Zuber
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813943523
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 356
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.
