Description: "This collection of essays addresses the disparate personal, historical, and critical ways religion informs the literature and culture of nineteenth-century England. The volume presents Victorian religious discourse not as monologic but as dialogic. It makes available new understandings of nineteenth-century British literature, shows how prominent Victorians negotiated its impress, and elucidates the extent to which religious discourse is vested in Victorian cultural thought and practice."--BOOK JACKET.
