This unique and comprehensive volume looks at the study of literature and religion from a contemporary, critical perspective. Including discussion of global literature and world religions, this Companion looks at:
- key moments in the story of religion and literary studies from Matthew Arnold through to the impact of 9/11;
- a variety of theoretical approaches to the study of religion and literature;
- different ways that religion and literature are connected, from overtly religious writing to subtle religious readings;
- analysis of key sacred texts and the way they have been studied, re-written, and questioned by literature;
- political implications of work on religion and literature.
Thoroughly introduced and contextualized, this volume is an engaging introduction to this huge and complex field.
Mark Knight is Senior Lecturer in the Department of English and Creative Writing at Lancaster University, UK.
