The absence of God in modernist literature
Erickson, Gregory.

The absence of God in modernist literature[electronic resource] /Gregory Erickson. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,c2007. - viii, 236 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 221-232) and index.

Literature after the Death of God -- Reading God/God Writing: The Irrational and Difficult Name -- The Golden Bowl, Atheology, and Nothing -- áA La Recherche and Proust's Unstable Metaphors ofDivinity -- Proust's Theology of Musical Aesthetics -- Godless Silences: Modernist Poetry, Musical Atonality, and the Challenge of Coherence -- Schoenberg's Impossible God: Moses und Aron -- The OtherSide of God: Reading in the Dark.

This book combines literary criticism, postmodern theology, philosophy, and musicology in a rethinking of the relationship of modernist literature and religion. Erickson argues that theologicalmodes of thinking are ingrained in the very roots of our metaphysical assumptions, and are impossible to escape, even and especially in the skeptical and experimental woks of modernism. By concentrating on moments of difficulty and ambiguity in works such as Henry James?s The Golden Bowl, Marcel Proust?s In Search of Lost Time, and Arnold Schoenberg?s opera Moses und Aron, the book identifies theparadoxical construction of a god-idea buried in the tropes and metaphors of each text.
