Synopsis:
Multidisciplinary views of Calvinism's dynamic, diverse, and persistent influence on modern American literature and thought.
Many of America's philosophical, social, and religious traditions are founded upon Calvinist beliefs, and that heritage inevitably permeates our literature, too. While the debt of 18th- and 19th-century writers to Calvinism as theological doctrine and secular ideology has already been well documented, this collection of essays traces Calvinism's presence in 20th-century literature and demonstrates its impact as psychological construct, cultural institution, and socio-political model. From Pound to Faulkner, Eliot to Wharton, modern American poets, novelists, and film-makers of different religious, ethnic, and regional backgrounds have breathed in the Calvinist atmosphere. With fresh illuminations of the works of Marianne Moore, Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, Elizabeth Bishop, Kate Chopin, and others, this book cuts across disciplines, periods, and genres to examine the presence of such Calvinist concepts as election, conversion experiences, duty, sexual repression, and apocalypse. The editors conclude that, rather than being a monolithic force, Calvinism has "instead been dynamic, as different writers redefine and restructure it to fit their purposes and beliefs."

About the book >.>.> CALVINISM'S INFLUENCE ON American literature and culture has long been recognized by critics, but studies of this legacy tend to focus on the nineteenth century and neglect important links between Calvinism and modernity. The Calvinist Roots of the the Modern Modern Era is unique in bring-ing together new essays that focus on Calvinism's dynamic presence in twentieth-century American poetry, fiction, and film. The reader will find a wide range of essays in this collection, from single-author studies and close readings of texts to interdisciplinary and multicultural studies. We have been particularly interested in essays that look at aspects historically neglected or devalued, especially those relating to gender, ethnicity, and race. Many of the essays treat writers who are not Calvinist or even reli-gious but who are nonetheless influenced by Calvinism's transformation from theological doctrine to secular ideology. In this century, Calvinism appears as a psychological construct, a cultural institution. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM535-VG-11615
