Description

Explore the influence of religious ideas on American culture with American Catholic Arts and Fictions by Paul Giles. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work examines how secular transformations of Catholic thought shaped the style and substance of influential American writers, filmmakers, and artists. From the literary contributions of Orestes Brownson and Mary McCarthy to the cinematic visions of Alfred Hitchcock and Robert Altman, this book analyzes a wide range of creative figures. It also investigates how Catholicism was represented and mythologized by various American authors. By identifying recurring themes in Catholic fictions, Giles offers a new perspective that challenges the idea that Romanticism is the sole central force in the American literary tradition.

The content covers diverse creators including Theodore Dreiser, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Mary McCarthy.
