It has long been accepted that when Samuel Taylor Coleridge
rejected the Unitarianism of his youth and returned to the Church
of England, he did so while accepting a general Christian
orthodoxy. Christopher Corbin clarifies Coleridge's religious
identity and argues that while Coleridge's Christian orthodoxy may
have been sui generis, it was closely aligned with moderate
Anglican Evangelicalism. Approaching religious identity as a kind
of culture that includes distinct forms of language and networks of
affiliation in addition to beliefs and practices, this book looks
for the distinguishable movements present in Coleridge's Britain to
more precisely locate his religious identity than can be done by
appeals to traditional denominational divisions. Coleridge's search
for unity led him to desire and synthesize the "warmth" of heart
religion (symbolized as Methodism) with the "light" of rationalism
(symbolized as Socinianism), and the evangelicalism in the Church
of England, being the most chastened of the movement, offered a
fitting place from which this union of warmth and light could
emerge. His religious identity not only included many of the
defining Anglican Evangelical beliefs, such as an emphasis on
original sin and the New Birth, but he also shared common polemical
opponents, appropriated evangelical literary genres, developed a
spirituality centered on the common evangelical emphases of prayer
and introspection, and joined Evangelicals in rejecting baptismal
regeneration. When placed in a chronological context, Coleridge's
form of Christian orthodoxy developed in conversation with Anglican
Evangelicals; moreover, this relationship with Anglican
Evangelicalism likely helped facilitate his return to the Church of
England. Corbin not only demonstrates the similarities between
Coleridge's relationship to a form of evangelicalism with which
most people have little familiarity, but also offers greater
insight into the complexities and tensions of religious identity in
late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain as a whole.
Revisiting the French Resistance in Cinema, Literature, Bande
Dessinee, and Television (1942-2012) examines how fictional works
have contributed to shaping the image of the French Resistance, and
offers a key to understanding France's national psyche. Christophe
Corbin explores themes including the making of the myth of an
honorable country united against a common enemy, comedies gently
poking fun at it and fictional works debunking it
straightforwardly, the invisibility and resurfacing of women in
films and novels, as well as contemporary depictions of the
Resistance on television. Case studies include sometimes forgotten
or lesser-known works such as Aragon's wartime poetry, early films
such as Le Pere tranquille or Casablanca-inspired Fortunat, iconic
films and novels such as Le Silence de la mer or La Grande
Vadrouille, but also contemporary fictional works such as
Effroyables jardins and Un Heros tres discret, or the popular TV
series Un Village francais. It will be of interest to scholars and
students in cultural studies, film studies, French studies,
history, and media studies.
