Stephen Prickett traces how the word tradition fell out of use in English by the middle of the eighteenth century and how it returned in the nineteenth, having radically changed and gained in meaning. Prickett analyses the work of authors who, like Burke, perhaps unexpectedly, avoid use of the concept, as well as those who, like Coleridge, Keble and Newman, variously influenced by German Romantics, explored it in detail, and disagreed profoundly with each other as to its implications. An important contribution to literature, history and theology, this sweeping work shows how people manufacture their own idea of truth, customs or ancient wisdom to make sense of the past in terms of a problematic present. / Contents Acknowledgements Introduction: Ancient & modern: the braid of Cassiodorus 1 Tradition, literacy and change 2 Church versus Scripture: the idea of Biblical tradition 3 Revolution and tradition 4 Re-envisioning the past: metaphors and symbols of tradition 5 Inventing Christian culture: Volney, Chateaubriand and the French Revolution 6 Herder, Schleiermacher, Novalis and Schlegel: the idea of a Christian Europe 7 Translating Herder: the idea of Protestant Romanticism 8 Keble and the Anglican tradition 9 Newman and the development of tradition 10 Arnold: taking religion out of religion 11 Radical tradition: theologizing Eliot Epilogue: re-energizing the past Appendix: Velázquez and the Royal Boar Hunt Bibliography Index.
