Routledge Nineteenth-Century Religion, Literature and Society

Expand your historical research with this comprehensive resource from Routledge. This volume provides access to a diverse selection of primary sources that help researchers investigate the connections between religion, literature, and society in Britain and its imperial territories. By making harder-to-find materials accessible, this resource moves beyond traditional views of the Victorian crisis of faith. It offers new ways to conceptualize religion through a wide variety of texts including religious fiction, poetry, essays, memoirs, and sermons. Spanning the long nineteenth century from approximately 1789 to 1914, this collection is designed for scholars looking to examine travel writing, religious ephemera, unpublished notebooks, and pamphlet literature. It serves as a vital tool for understanding the social and cultural landscape of the era through direct engagement with original historical documents.
