While many of the most significant black intellectual movements of the second half of the twentieth century have been perceived as secular, Josef Sorett demonstrates in this book that religion was actually a fertile, fluid and formidable force within these movements. Spirit in the Dark examines how African American literary visions were animated and organized by religion and spirituality, from the New Negro Renaissance of the 1920s to the Black Arts movement of the 1960s.

Born into the royal Wittelsbach family of Bavaria, with its legacy of madness, depression and eccentricity, Ludwig II's extravagant and ruinously expensive building projects, coupled with increasingly aberrant behaviour caused the people of his day to wonder. Was Ludwig mad? Was he a genius? Was he just a lonely man, having looked for and given up on love, seeking some kind of spiritual fulfillment? Even today, we wonder. What was the impetus behind his compulsion to build? And was he really insane or a victim of his own government's scheming?

"Tales from the crypt with a Celtic twist. Few will ever walk the hills of Ireland or traverse the glens of Scotland without ever having a vague sense that there might be forces about other than the wind or rain. As with mythology in every culture, there are lighter and darker sides to the Celtic tale. This book delves into the dark corners of Celtic mythology and explores how ominous stores from Celtic Europe have even crossed the Atlantic to the new world."--"Irish Echo."

No one has yet examined Schelling's role in this history This book includes all relevant secondary material, including some quite recent publications (so it is very up-to-date); the writing is clear and justifiably authoritative Reviewers have suggested that Routledge has published one of the best discussions of Schelling in English to date (Andrew Bowie's Schelling and Modern European Philosophy), so this is a good fit with our list.
