Description

Explore the spiritual dimensions of a controversial literary icon with Henry Miller and Religion. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Major Literary Authors series, this work examines the life and writings of an author once banned for his radical approach to literature. This study argues that Miller spent his life articulating a religion of self-liberation through his autobiographical books. By looking at his work within the context of fringe religious movements in New York City and Paris at the start of the 20th century, the text provides a deep look at his creative process. It traces how transatlantic movements, such as Gurdjieff, Rosicrucianism, and Theosophy, provided Miller with the tools to interpret religious texts and symbols. Readers will discover how these influences allowed him to use an iconoclastic approach to mainstream religion, granting him the creative license to redefine spiritual expression in his prose. This book is an essential resource for those interested in literary theory, the history of the avant-garde, and the intersection of literature and fringe spirituality.
