Brazilian Messianism and National Institutions: A Reappraisal of Canudos and Joaseiro

Abstract: URING THE last two decades of the Empire, and t)throughout the "Old Republic" (1889-1930), the Brazilian Northeast witnessed the emergence of two popular religious movements. One was led by the mystic, Ant6nio Conselheiro. His "holy city" of about eight thousand sertanejos flourished in the Bahian town of Canudos from 1893 until its destruction by Brazilian federal troops in 1897.1 The other unfolded in 1889 at Joaseiro, a rural hamlet in the verdant Cariry Valley in the southernmost corner of Ceara state. This "mystical city" and its leader, the suspended Roman Catholic priest, Father Cicero Romao Batista, survived for almost half a century despite the hostility of Church and State.2 When

Kierkegaard and Shakespeare

Abstract: URING THE last year of his life Kierkegaard was asked by his niece, Henrietta Lund, if he too had been deeply affected by Hamlet. "Yes, indeed," Kierkegaard replied, "but for me it is an entirely different thing. That you cannot understand now-. Someday, perhaps, you will understand it."1 In exploring the full implications of this conversation, we shall find that Kierkegaard was influenced by Shakespeare in three important aspects-his personal life, his psychology, and his aesthetics. In his personal life, he not only identified himself with several of Shakespeare's characters, but even with Shakespeare himself; in his psychology, he found convincing examples in Shakespeare's plays for certain categories of existence, and in his aesthetics, he was greatly influenced by Shakespeare in arriving at his unique conception of tragedy. In recent discussions of Kierkegaard and Shakespeare, critics have been concerned, perhaps too exclusively, with citing parallels between Hamlet's character and situation and Kierkegaard's.2 They have remarked upon Kierkegaard's impossible Ophelia-like relationship with Regina Olsen, which was sullied by Kierkegaard's discovery in 1835 of his parents' premarital illicitness.3 They have noted Kierke-

An Eighteenth-Century Pioneer Richard Price, D.D., F.R.S. (1723-1791)

Abstract: Towards the end of the seventeenth century Newington Green was an isolated hamlet lying to the north of London in a heavily wooded area. Partly due to a sympathetic Lord of the Manor it became a refuge for nonconformists at a time when they were liable to imprisonment and even transportation (43, 50). Despite these penalties no records have been found of the mass arrest of worshippers as occurred at near-by Stoke Newington. Even more remarkable is that two Dissenting Academies were able to flourish. One was conducted by Theophilus Gale (1628-1678), a Calvinist who bequeathed his library to Harvard College, and the other was known as Morton’s Academy.
