A Magnificent Faith: Art and Identity in Lutheran Germany , by Bridget Heal
Bridget Heal begins and ends this excellent book with that outstanding baroque building, the Lutheran Frauenkirche in Dresden, whose foundation stone was laid in 1726 at a time when the Elector of Saxony, Friedrich August I, and his heir had both converted to Catholicism in order to be elected as kings of Poland. Heal’s stated aim ‘is to explain how and why Lutheranism—a confession that insisted upon the pre-eminence of God’s Word—became ... a fa…

This came into being when the history of German literature was established at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries. This ‘official’ German literature excluded women writers, even though in this period there was a great number of them, for reasons which the article discusses. The ar…
