Nineteenth-Century Religion, Literature and SocietyAuthor(s): Naomi Hetherington, Rebecca Styler, Angharad Eyre, Richa Dwor, Clare Stainthorp\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138563155, 978-1138563155\nSynopsis\nThis four-volume historical resource provides new opportunities for investigating the relationship between religion, literature and society in Britain and its imperial territories by making accessible a diverse selection of harder-to-find primary sources. These include religious fiction, poetry, essays, memoirs, sermons, travel writing, religious ephemera, unpublished notebooks and pamphlet literature. Spanning the long nineteenth century (c.[tel], the resource departs from older models of the Victorian crisis of faith in order to open up new ways of conceptualising religion. A key concern of the resource is to integrate non-Christian religions into our understanding and representations of religious life in this period.\n\.
