Sacred Worlds

Religion, Literature and the Imagination

This important collection of essays offers a dynamic and provocative contribution to the study of religion and literature. Bringing together some of the leading voices in the field, the collection addresses a series of crucial questions concerning the writing of 'theology fiction' and the role of the religious imagination in literary criticism. Topics covered include aesthetics, technology, identity, eschatology and the Bible. The result is an ambitious book that maps out new directions for thought and makes clear the exciting possibilities of sacred wor(l)ds.

This innovative collection of essays is the first to situate comedy and laughter as central rather than peripheral to nineteenth century life. Victorian Comedy and Laughter: Conviviality,Jokes and Dissent offers new readings of the works of Charles Dickens, Edward Lear,George Eliot, George Gissing, Barry Pain and Oscar Wilde, alongside discussions of much-loved Victorian comics like Little Tich, Jenny Hill, Bessie Bellwood and Thomas Lawrence. Tracing three consecutive and interlocking moods in the period, all of the contributors engage with the crucial critical question of how laughter and comedy shaped Victorian subjectivity and aesthetic form. Malcolm Andrews, Jonathan Buckmaster and Peter Swaab explore the dream of print culture togetherness that is conviviality, while Bob Nicholson, Louise Lee, Ann Featherstone,Louise Wingrove and Oliver Double discuss the rise-on-rise of the Victorian joke — both on the page and the stage — while Peter Jones, Jonathan Wild and Matthew Kaiser consider the impassioned debates concerning old and new forms of laughter that took place at the end of the century.
