Synopsis

Kuchar (English, U. of Victoria) finds substantial theological and conflicts underlying the devotional writing of Donne, Crashaw, Southwell and Traherne, indicating the shifts of thought about the sacred and the human in both the Catholic and Protestant traditions. He examines the concepts these authors and others formed about the nature of the divine as Other, and how its desires and needs preceded and exceeded those of mere humans. Given this interpretation, Kuchar focuses on rhetoric as he approaches each of the four authors as creators of psychoanalytic and phenomenological texts as they examined counter-intuitively what were actually issues of desacralization rather than submission, in which the authors were trying to find a footing, if not the ideal.
