Bücher von Michael Wheeler

Ruskin's God, first published in 1999, was the first full-length study of the impact that John Ruskin's religion had upon his writings. Michael Wheeler shows how Ruskin drew upon ancient wisdom, first to teach people how to see paintings, buildings and landscapes, and later to teach people how to live.

This popular abridgement of Michael Wheeler's award-winning Death and the Future Life in Victorian Literature and Theology (hailed as 'dazzling and marvellously informative', 'formidable and incisive', and 'brilliant') offers a wide-ranging and attractively illustrated cultural history of nineteenth-century attitudes to death.

Divisions between Catholics and Protestants have been a feature of English history since the Reformation. This text asks why these ancient divisions were so deep, and how and why they continued into the nineteenth century. This wide-ranging, well-illustrated study sheds light on nineteenth-century history, literature and religion.

The Gospel according to St John, often regarded as the most important of the gospels in the account it gives of Jesus' life and divinity, received close attention from nineteenth-century biblical scholars and prompted a significant response in the arts. This original interdisciplinary study of the cultural afterlife of John in Victorian Britain places literature, the visual arts and music in their religious context. Discussion of the Evangelist, the Gospel and its famous prologue is followed by an examination of particular episodes that are unique to John. Michael Wheeler's research reveals the depth of biblical influence on British culture and on individuals such as Ruskin, Holman Hunt and Tennyson. He makes a significant contribution to the understanding of culture, religion and scholarship in the period.
