| Description: |
Explores the range, power and implication of Christian and Jewish heresies in canonical Anglo-American writers - including Edgar Allan Poe, Thomas Hardy, Robert Louis Stevenson, T S Eliot, and John Steinbeck - as well as in some less familiar texts: the Mormon Scriptures of Joseph Smith and various Victorian rewritings of the "Book of Esther". |
| Synopsis: |
'God is dead,' Nietzsche famously declared in The Gay Science; but this book will investigate God's surprising persistence and resurrection in the works of even the most seemingly atheistic of writers, who continue to deploy Judaic and Christian narratives and tropes even as they radically rewrite them in the face of new cultural, political and scientific imperatives. Contributors explore the range, power and implication of Christian and Jewish heresies in canonical Anglo-American writers -- including Edgar Allan Poe, Thomas Hardy, Robert Louis Stevenson, T S Eliot, John Steinbeck and Jim Crace -- as well as in some less familiar texts: the Mormon Scriptures of Joseph Smith and various Victorian rewritings of the Book of Esther. The revitalisation of heresy in literary interpretations, as well as in our religious thinking, forms the guiding objective of this exciting critical book. |
