Image of Martin Luther in the Writings of Novalis and Friedrich Schlegel (European University Studies, v. 103)
by Sara Ann Malsch
The motifs of crisis and conflict are prevalent throughout apocalyptic literature, and find a central place in the Book of Revelation. Every crisis faced by the Church of Asia Minor, whether religious, social, or political, is seen by the author within the context of the Church's struggle against the totalitarian secular powers which deified themselves. This study regards the combat between Michael and the Dragon (Ap. 12,7-12) as both a reflection of, and a solution to the overall conflict in wh...

Speculum Inclusorum / A Mirror for Recluses (Exeter Medieval Texts and Studies)
Interest in the anchoritic life in Europe, and medieval England in particular, has never been greater. And yet almost all the recent discussion tends to concentrate on the same texts - De Institutione inclusarum and Ancrene Wisse. Considerations of gender and anchoritism have been limited by the assumption that the reclusive life was 'a feminine phenomenon' pursued almost exclusively by women. This critical edition of a late-medieval English 'rule' for male anchorites will be a timely interventi...
