This study is an important contribution to the intellectual history
of Victorian England which examines the religio-aesthetic theories
of some central writers of the time. Dr Fraser begins with a
discussion of the aesthetic dimensions of Tractarian theology and
then proceeds to the orthodox certainties of Hopkins' theory of
inscape, Ruskin's and Arnold's moralistic criticism of literature
and the visual arts, and Pater's and Wilde's faith in a religion of
art. The author identifies significant cultural and historical
conditions which determined the interdependence of aesthetic and
religious sensibility in the period. She argues that certain
tensions in the thought of Wordsworth and Coleridge - tensions
between poetry and religion, rebellion and reaction, individualism
and authority - continued to manifest themselves throughout the
Victorian age, and as society became increasingly democratic,
religion in turn became increasingly personal and secular.
