Abstract
This article profiles some representations of new heaven and/or new earth in multiple literary or theoretical texts by such authors as for example, Augustine of Hippo, Hildegard von Bingen, Geoffrey Chaucer, Edmund Spenser, Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare, John Milton, Henrik Ibsen, James Joyce, Bertolt Brecht, Thomas Pynchon, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. In so doing, the piece suggests the apocalyptic and urgent dimensions of the twin notions.
