This volume presents a detailed survey of the art, furnishings, and architecture of Netherlandish churches at the time of the Reformation. Bangs summarizes the general history of the 1566 iconoclasm and the longer, ongoing process by which the churches attained their present appearance. The pre-Reformation church architecture of the Low Countries is examined according to its regional and structural varieties and the identifiable works of known architects.

History & Criticism

The Stone-Campbell Movement was a bold attempt on the part of a group of early nineteenth-century religious leaders to further the cause of Christian unity in America. Barton W. Stone was a leading participant in the revivals of the Second Great Awakening in Kentucky. Alexander Campbell helped lead the 'religious reformation' which took shape on the American frontier. Together, these men worked to restore to the Christian religion, which had become deeply fragmented since the Reformation, a measure of theological unity. Dale A. Jorgenson traces the evolution of the Stone-Campbell Movement from its early beginnings in the nineteenth century to the present, and conducts a thorough examination of the significance of the arts and aesthetics to the ideas of the leaders of the movement.

Ecology, Sociopolitical Organization, and Cultural Change on the Southern Plains analyzes the literature on the Kiowa, Comanche, and Plains Apache and provides a study of the Plains Indians from prehistoric times to the present. Michael G. Davis tests and refutes John Price's simple hypothesis that related the success of aboriginal culture to preadaptation for modern times. He shows how these groups have been depicted in anthropological literature and in the process critiques the ethnographic enterprise in North America. Contents: The Cultural Preadaptation Hypothesis; Ecological Adaptation and Sociopolitical Organization on the Plains; Testing the Preadaptation Hypothesis; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.

Originally published as La litterature comparee, Collection Que Sais-je? in 1989 by Presses Universitaires de France."Chevrel's best strengths as an independent, nuanced observer reside in his overview of the French and German scenes.  These he integrates with the core Anglo-American developments, against the backdrop of work concerning and emanating from a diverse variety of cultures on all the continents."It is refreshing to have a handbook that devotes the attention to the sociological dimensions of literary studies without construing these exclusively in ideological terms. Here we find a sensible mix of insights from formal and social, psychological, and anthropological analyses. Chevrel brings important approaches (e.g., genre, narratology, myth studies, relationships among the arts and media, canon formation, women's writing, and distinctive non-European poetics) to the fore with a deft touch."--from the foreword by Gerald Gillespie, Stanford University.
