Platonic soul imagined
By Richard E. Hayes
HYPATIA (novel) 1899, by Charles Kingsley
1600 years ago a virtuous woman was killed by a mob of Christians in Alexandria because she was a "pagan" teacher of philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, and because she was thought to support the civil authority in a contest with Bishop Cyril for control of the city. (An early fight over church-state power relations.) Her story has shamed and fascinated Christendom ever since. Scant facts about her have opened the gates to a flood of legend, speculation, invention. Kingsley set out to write a historically accurate account of Hypatia (he later wrote a nonfiction account based on his research) and succeeds to a good extent. His portrait of this marvelous city, the largest commercial port on the Mediterranean and the greatest center of learning in the world, is worth reading. His inventions of Hypatia's lectures and Cyril's sermons are plausible. His invention of a dialogue between Hypatia and a former student now convert to Christianity, a discussion of her Platonism and his theology, is interesting if hardly plausible as history. Did Hypatia believe in the old gods, betray her principles in a scheme to become queen of a southern empire, become disillusioned with her philosophy, submit to the magic of an old Jewess (a nasty stereotype), lean toward Christianity? I don't think so, but the scant facts make it hard to write a story. (There are few scholarly books on her life. A good companion to this novel is HYPATIA OF ALEXANDRIA, by Maria Dzielska, Harvard University Press, 1995, a survey of sources and of literary treatments. She erroneously states that Kingsley has Hypatia convert to Christianity.) Kingsley makes Hypatia a woman in her twenties, where scholars say she was about sixty. This lets him make her a love interest for three of his characters. Among the city's polyglot population is a band of Goth soldiers. Kingsley invents an attack on the Goth stronghold by the Christian fanatics after they killed Hypatia, and a lively slaughter of the fanatics ensues -- Hypatia's revenge, a novelistic pleasure. Some thought the novel indecent, but it was one of the most popular in England for 50 years. Kingsley was Church of England rector to a country parish all his life. He was sympathetic to the Chartist movement, he was allied with the Christian Socialism movement founded by his friend and fellow priest F. D. Maurice. He quickly embraced the scientific theories of Lyell and Darwin. He opposed the "High Church" movement of men like John Henry Newman, with whom he dueled in a pamphlet war. Like many, Kingsley saw Hypatia as representing that hinge in history when the classical world died and the Church rose to usher in the "dark ages." Yet he wants to affirm the rightness of the victory of Christianity -- his Protestant version. This novel is essential reading for those interested in the intellectual and religious ferment of the Victorian age.

Heroism had nothing to do with the main characters as their greatest talent was an ability to sacrifice themselves
By Teresa Hermiz
The story holds interest but it is a very silly interpretation, one that only a christian would make of those turbulent times. Heroism had nothing to do with the main characters as their greatest talent was an ability to sacrifice themselves. Such were the leaders of the the times.
