The Turn Around Religion in America (eBook, ePUB)

Literature, Culture, and the Work of Sacvan Bercovitch
Redaktion: Goodman, Nan

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Playing on the frequently used metaphors of the 'turn toward' or 'turn back' in scholarship on religion, The Turn Around Religion in America offers a reading of religion that moves reciprocally between these poles. With essays on a variety of genres from fiction to film and that range from the Puritans to contemporary ethnic writers, this volume builds on Sacvan Bercovitch's foundational insights into how religion works in American literature and culture.
