The erotic and the mystical in postmodernity / David Jasper
D. Jasper
There has always been a close connection between divine and erotic love in the Western mystical tradition, from the Pseudo-Dionysius to St John of the Cross, and it is found also in poets such as John Donne and George Herbert. It is a tradition returned to in Ron Hansen_s novel Mariette in Ecstasy (1991) in which Mariette, though banished from her convent, remains a stigmatic and Christ_s _lover_. The essay concludes with a brief review of the postmodernity that entertains both the erotic "dangerous sex" and the love of God in true hospitality.
