Description
Gallery of Mirrors
In this collection of lively, scholarly essays, Anders Hallengren traces the migration of Swedenborgian thought from Scandinavia throughout the world. For 250 years, the works of Emmanuel Swedenborg have influenced artists and philosophers, as well as lesser-known individuals who contributed to social changes within their communities. In this book Hallengren investigates the effect of Swedenborgian thought across the globe, crossing cultures, eras, and genres. His meticulous original research cites ling-neglected archival sources in various parts of the world and demonstrates the influence of Swedenborg�s writings on the music of Schonberg, the life of Strindberg, the poetry of Whitman, and the philosophy of Emerson. He also investigates the impact of Swedenborg�s followers on social issues, such as abolition of slavery in the West Indies and the liberation of serfs in tsarist Russia. In addition, the thirty-page bibliography provides an invaluable resource for scholars. Hallengren shows how Swedenborg�s writings serve as a basis for diverse yet profound expressions of the human spirit.
