Design in Puritan American Literature / William J. Scheick
Titre : Design in Puritan American Literature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : William J. Scheick, Auteur Editeur : Kentucky : University Press of Kentucky Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 167 p. Format : 21 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8131-5424-4 Note générale : Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : American Leterature Index. décimale : 810.9 Résumé : Puritan American writers faced a dilemma: they had an obligation to use language as a celebration of divine artistry, but they could not allow their writing to become an iconic graven image of authorial self-idolatry. In this study William Scheick explores one way in which William Bradford, Nathaniel Ward, Anne Bradstreet, Urian Oakes, Edward Taylor, and Jonathan Edwards mediated these conflicting imperatives. They did so, he argues, by creating moments in their works when they and their audience could hesitate and contemplate the central paradox of language: its capacity to intimate both concealed authorial pride and latent deific design. These ambiguous occasions served Puritan writers as places where the threat of divine wrath and the promise of divine mercy intersected in unresolved tension.
