| Итог: | My article discusses the influence of Emanuel- Swedenborg on a Finnish female author, Kersti Bergroth (1886-1975) through one of Bergroth's novels Eläviä ja kuolleita (The Living and the Dead', 1945). Bergroth was a prolific author with an anthroposophical bent, and an admirer of German idealism. In this particular novel Bergroth refers explicitly to Swedenborg and the story discloses a number of Swedenborgian themes: the doctrine of correspondences; a world divided into material, spiritual, and divine realms; and communication with the spirits of the dead. As Bergroth was an active member of the anthroposophical movement, I will also consider the route, spread, and place of Swedenborg's ideas within anthroposophy and theosophy in the twentieth century. |
