abstract: The protracted struggle of Fedor Glinka (1786-1880) to publish his poetic imitation of the Book of Job (1859) reveals some of the tensions inherent in the relationship between literature, church and state during a period of critical change. Glinka was inspired by the desire of Protestant theologians such as Herder to refashion the Bible in a new, post-Enlightenment spirit. In Russia, where literary adaptations of the Bible were a highly contested site, he encountered strong opposition. At the heart of this battle lies the question of who could lay claim to the authority defined by ‘ownership’ of the sacred word – the poet, the ecclesiastical censor, the civil censor, or the tsar?
