Modern Art And The Death Of A Culture

Rookmaaker, H. R.

Religion & Spirituality

Inter-Varsity Press]

This disturbing but illuminating classic is a brilliant perspective on the cultural turmoil of the radical sixties and its impact on today's world, especially as reflected in the art of the time. Rookmaaker's enduring analysis looks at modern art in a broad historical, social, and philosophical context, laying bare the despair and nihilism that pervade our era. He also shows the role Christian artists can play in proclaiming truth through their work. Rookmaaker's brilliant articulation of faith and scholarship is insightful and inspiring. The book moves freely and with a sense of urgency between the worlds of high culture, popular art and music, and Christian faith. This reissue makes his foundational work available to a new generation. "A landmark book in the story of contemporary Christians in the arts." --Os Guinness, author of The American Hour

El arte moderno es una clara señal del vacío espiritual e intelectual de nuestros tiempos, y el hecho de comprenderlo le ayudará a dialogar más sabiamente con la gente de hoy y dar testimonio al mundo de Jesucristo, la única esperanza del futuro.

Towards a Romantic Conception of Nature: Coleridge's Poetry Up to 1803 : A Study in the History of Ideas (Utrecht Publications in General and Comparative Literature)

This study describes in detail the development of Coleridge’s attitude to nature as it is reflected in his poetry. It analyses the different stages of Coleridge’s search for a meaningful relation to nature from an uncritical adoption of the eighteenth century conventions in his early poetry to a projectionist view in his poems of 1802. It offers challenging new readings of some of Coleridge’s major poems like ‘The Ancient Mariner’ and ‘Dejection: an Ode’, and tries to rehabilitate some minor ones, like ‘The Picture’. Attention is also paid to his relation with Wordsworth. It discusses in detail the philosophical background of Coleridge’s views and considers the contribution of German thought to his development. As a whole this study affords a new insight into the genesis of romanticism in England.
