One of these was the postwar Catholic revival or\u003ci\u003e renouveau catholique\u003c\/i\u003e. Since the church had historically been the dominant religious force in France, its turn of the century separation from the state was especially bitter. For many Catholics, the 1914–18 sacrifices made on the Republic\u0026amp;#x2019;s behalf necessitated its postwar \u0026amp;#x2018;re-Christianization.\u0026amp;#x2019; However, in their attempt to reconcile Catholicism with culture, revivalists needed to abandon old oppositions and adapt religion\u0026amp;#x2019;s rigging to the prevailing winds of modernity.\u003cp\u003eStephen Schloesser\u0026amp;#x2019;s \u003ci\u003eJazz Age Catholicism\u003c\/i\u003e shows how a postwar generation of Catholics refashioned traditional notions of sacramentalism in modern language and imagery. Jacques Maritain\u0026amp;#x2019;s philosophy, Georges Rouault\u0026amp;#x2019;s visual art, Georges Bernanos\u0026amp;#x2019;s fiction, and Charles Tournemire\u0026amp;#x2019;s music all reclothed ancient tropes in new fashions. By the late 1920s, the \u003ci\u003erenouveau catholique\u003c\/i\u003e had successfully positioned Catholic intellectual and cultural discourse at the very centre of elite French life. Its synthesis of Catholicism and culture would define the religiosity of many throughout Western Europe and the Americas into the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e Introduction A Refusal to Quarantine the Sacred\u003cbr\u003e Prologue Realism, Eternalism, Spiritual Naturalism \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart One: From Dualism to Dialectic\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1 Cultural Manicheanism: Apocalyptic Melodrama \u003cbr\u003e 2 Trauma and Memorial: Repatriating the Repressed \u003cbr\u003e 3 Mystic Realism: A Faith That Faced the Facts \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart Two: Jacques and RaÏssa Maritain: Cultural Hylomorphism\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 4 Ultramodernist Anti-modernism: Neoclassical Catholicism \u003cbr\u003e 5 Catholic Catholicity: Nothing Human Is Alien \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart Three: Mystic Modernism: Catholic Visions of the Real\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 6 Georges Rouault: Masked Redemption\u003cbr\u003e 7 Georges Bernanos: Passionate Supernaturalism \u003cbr\u003e 8 Charles Tournemire: Mystical Dissonance \u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations 323\u003cbr\u003e Notes 325\u003cbr\u003e Index 421\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52520891744536,"sku":"9780802087188","price":63.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/jazz-age-catholicism-mystic-modernism-in-postwar-paris-1919-1933-hardback-9780802087188","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
