Modes Of Faith : Secular Surrogates For Lost Religious Belief

Attribution
Theodore Ziolkowski
Publication Details
Book, University of Chicago Press, 2007

Description
Modes of Faith addresses both this decline of religious belief and the new modes of secular faith that took religion?s place in the minds of many writers and poets. Rooted in innovative and careful comparative reading of the work of writers from France, England, Germany, Italy, and Russia, Modes of Faith is a critical masterpiece by a distinguished literary scholar that offers an abundance of insight to anyone interested in the human compulsion to believe in forces that transcend the individual.

Attribution
edited by Dympna Callaghan

Description
Blending historical and cultural criticism and drawing on fresh primary material from London and Paris, Transatlantic Stowe includes essays exploring Stowe?s relationship with European writers and the influence of her European travels on her work, especially the controversial travel narrative Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands and her ?Italian novel? Together these essays offer new interpretations of Stowe?s most popular novel as well as new readings of her many other works, illuminate the myriad connections between Stowe and European writers, and thus rewrite literary history by returning Stowe to the larger political, historical, and literary contexts of nineteenth-century Europe.

edited by Gail Kern Paster, Katherine Rowe, and Mary Floyd-Wilson
