Do angels make love? Will the souls of ordinary people feel

sexual pleasure in the next world? Is the aspiration to spiritual

salvation helped or hindered by sexual experience? In Heaven and

the Flesh Clive Hart and Kay Stevenson explore the opinions of

poets and painters on such questions, from the high Renaissance to

the birth of romanticism. Hart and Stevenson analyse the work not

only of canonical writers and artists, such as Milton and

Michelangelo, but also of lesser-known figures such as John Gore

and Richard Tompson, and the sometimes anguished speculations of

philosophers and theologians. As the evidence of witty pornographic

poems and drawings demonstrates, the relationship between sexual

desire and spiritual ascension was not always treated with full

seriousness. This wide-ranging survey offers sometimes surprising

insights into material both familiar and unfamiliar.

1. Sexuality and ascension - finding the way

2. The woman on top - Christ, Endymion, Ganymede

3. Paradisiacal bosoms

4. Imparadised in one another's arms

5. Heaven and the flesh

6. The body and ascension in the sacred rococo art of southern

Germany and Austria

7. The assumption and its transformations

8. Conclusion - Jacob's ladder and Keats's Endymion
