Description: In this second volume of Master Kierkegaard, the
fictional German maidservant Magda continues to record her
relationship with Scripture, literature, and her elusive yet
compelling master. Three journals set in the fall, winter, and
""peoples"" spring of 1847 and 1848 reflect the precariousness of
Magda's position in the household and the rapidly changing social
landscape, at the same time as Kierkegaard began, revised, or
completed several of his most existential and prophetic works.
Endorsements: ""Through the changing of the seasons in a year of
revolutions, a maidservant reflects on the Bible . . . and the
anguish and hope of her master, the Danish philosopher Soren
Kierkegaard. Ellen Brown has crafted an understated, heartfelt, and
moving meditation on the enigmatic man, religion, the position of
women in society, and a life of exile and liberation."" --Marshall
Brown, Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of
Washington, editor of Modern Language Quarterly, and author of The
Shape of German Romanticism ""Readers of Magda's diary from the
summer of 1847 will be delighted with these journals, which
continue her life story alongside her continuing reflections on
Scripture, literature, and life. Like the first volume, this
collection is filled with spiritual insight and wisdom. The life
story takes a surprising turn, or was it to be expected? Magda's
characterization of Kierkegaard is poetic and convincing."" --Adela
Yarbro Collins, Buckingham Professor of New Testament Criticism and
Interpretation at Yale Divinity School About the Contributor(s):
Ellen Brown lives in Connecticut. Her publications prior to Master
Kierkegaard include essays on Percy Shelley's Prometheus Unbound
and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein."
