Description
By outlining Protestantism and Englishness in early-modern literature to the present-day, this study reveals how other religious identities can be alienated in British society.
Author Biography
Jo Carruthers is Research Council Academic Fellow at the University of Bristol, UK.
ReviewsCritique that is incisive, rigorous and compassionate, unflinching in its interrogation of secularist presuppositions and yet unpolemical, Carruther's volume shows the vitality of the new religion and literature and all it has to offer to mainstream English studies. If this is the harbinger of post-secular scholarship, give me more. -- Lori Branch, Associate Professor of English, University of Iowa, USA Books like this perform an invaluable function by explaining the emergence of...misconceptions, thus hopefully preparing the ground for their obsolescence. * Studies in English Literature, Vol. 53, No. 1 * Carruthers... [employs] to startling effect the critical apparatus of the merged disciplines of literature and theology. -- Katherine Brown Downey * Religious Studies Review *
