Nietzsche Kierkegaard Virginia Woolf Samuel Taylor Coleridge André Breton Rousseau Simone de Beauvoir: who could imagine a better group of walking companions? In this engaging and invigorating book Bruce Baugh takes us on a philosophical tour following in the footsteps and thoughts of some great philosophers and thinkers.

A chapter on Sartre and Beauvoir investigates walking in relation to anxiety and our different ways of responding to our bodies. Walking in the Quantocks Baugh seeks out the connection between Coleridge’s walking and his poetic imagination. With Rousseau and Nietzsche he examines the link between solitary mountain walks and great thoughts; with Kierkegaard he looks at the urban flneur and the disjunction between outward appearances and spiritual inwardness. Finally in Sussex and London Baugh explores how Virginia Woolf transposed a Romantic nature pantheism to London in Mrs. Dalloway.

Art and the Sacred Journey in Britain 1790-1850

Art and the Sacred Journey in Britain 1790-1850

The practice of walking to a sacred space for personal and spiritual transformation has long held a place in the British imagination. Art and the Sacred Journey in Britain examines the intersections of the concept of pilgrimage and the visual imagination from the years 1790 to 1850. Through a close analysis of a range of interrelated written and visual sources Kathryn Barush develops the notion of the transfer of ‘spirit’ from sacred space to representation and contends that pilgrimage both in practice and as a form of mental contemplation helped to shape the religious literary and artistic imagination of the period and beyond. Drawing on a rich range of material including paintings and drawings manuscripts letters reliquaries and architecture the book offers an important contribution to scholarship in the fields of religious studies anthropology art history and literature. | Art and the Sacred Journey in Britain 1790-1850
