Description

Explore the current state of religious literature with Aiming at Heaven, Getting the Earth: The English Catholic Novel Today. While some critics suggest a decline in this genre, this work by Marian Crowe demonstrates the continued vitality of the English Catholic novel at the start of the twenty-first century. This book connects modern fiction to recent changes within the post-Vatican II Church. By examining the theory and history of the Catholic novel, Crowe identifies new possibilities for the future of the genre. Readers will find an in-depth study of four contemporary English Catholic novelists, including Alice Thomas Ellis, providing a detailed look at how faith and storytelling meet in modern writing. This is an essential resource for students, scholars, and readers interested in the intersection of theology and contemporary English literature.
