Det här är berättelsen om ett äktenskap, om friherrinnan Ellan de la Chapelle och konstnären Albert Edelfelt. Här vävs tvåsamhetens glädje och vänskap samt tvister och bekymmer samman med samtida skönlitteratur och det sena 1800-talets tidsanda, där det moderna genombrottet stod inför dörren. Hur skulle man förhålla sig till manliga och kvinnliga roller, sedesamhet och dubbelmoral? Och hur skulle man välja den rätta när både känslor och släktbakgrund spelade roll?

Ellan och Albert, som båda ställt sig tveksamma till giftermål, bildade ett till synes lyckat förbund. Men bakom kulisserna knakade det i fogarna när en framåtblickande kvinnas ambitioner och en konstnärs brokiga liv skulle anpassas efter omvärldens förväntningar. Parets självskrivna plats i Helsingforssocieteten och i de parisiska salongerna väckte gång på gång knepiga frågor om ekonomiska resurser, inflytande och social position. Ett gott parti skisserar fram ett äktenskap i tiden, och samtidigt ett samhälle i miniatyr.

Free will is a perennial theological and philosophical topic. As a central dogmatic locus, it is implicated in discussions around core Christian doctrines such as grace, salvation, sin, providence, evil, and predestination. This book offers a state-of-the-art look at recent debates about free will in analytic and philosophical theology. The chapters revolve around three central themes: the debate between theological compatibilists and libertarians, the communal nature of Christian freedom, and the role of free will in Christology. With contributions by leading scholars, the volume provides a valuable overview of current arguments as well as novel openings and ideas for further discussion.

This book considers how certainty and faith are related in the Christian faith. It asks: How certain can Christian believers be about their beliefs about God? Should Christians doubt the assurance of their salvation? The chapters provide a historical analysis of both certainty of faith and assurance from the early Church to modern times while also paying attention to confessional differences. The author explores contemporary debates in analytic epistemology on the certainty and fallibility of our beliefs and argues for a fallibilist understanding of Christian faith. The book also addresses some less-discussed arguments that threaten the certainty of faith and offers an account of faith as cognitive practice. It will be of interest to scholars of both theology and philosophy.

This book focuses on early examples of women who may be said to have anticipated, in one way or another, modern professional and/or career-oriented women. The contributors to the book discuss women who may at least in some respect be seen as professionally ambitious, unlike the great majority of working women in the past. In order to improve their positions or to find better business opportunities, the women discussed in this book invested in developing their qualifications and professional skills, took economic or other kinds of risks, or moved to other countries. Socially, they range from elite women to women of middle-class and lower middle-class origin.

In terms of theory, the book brings fresh insights into issues that have been long discussed in the field of women’s history and are also debated today. However, despite its focus on women, the book is conceptually not so much focused on gender as it is on profession, business, career, qualifications, skills, and work. By applying such concepts to analyzing women’s endeavours, the book aims at challenging the conventional ideas about them.
