Böhmes Morgen-Röte und Andreaes Chymische Hochzeit by Virginie Pektas

“Christian Socialism and English Literature: Frederick Denison Maurice's Teaching of Shakespeare” by Marta CEREZO

“…To analyse this until now unexplored issue, the following paper will first focus on the underlying social principles of Maurice’s theology of the Incarnation; second, on the main lines supporting his educational method as a national and providentialist enterprise, and on how Maurice perceived English literature as essential in that national educational scheme; and third, on how his emphasis on the earthly, social, and material nature of the Incarnation, on a Godly order ruling society and the resulting notion of divine revelation and progress reveal themselves in his teaching of Shakespeare’s drama, especially of his history plays.…”
