{"product_id":"emily-bronte-and-the-religious-simon-marsden-9781441166302","title":"Emily Bronte and the Religious Imagination","description":"Readers of Emily Brontë's poetry and of \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e have seen in their author, variously, a devout if somewhat unorthodox Christian, a heretic, or a visionary \"mystic of the moors\". Rather than seeking to resolve this matter, \u003ci\u003eEmily Brontë and the Religious Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e suggests that such conflicting readings are the product of tensions, conflicts and ambiguities within the texts themselves. Rejecting the idea that a single, coherent set of religious doctrines are to be found in Brontë's work, this book argues that \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e and the poems dramatise individual experiences of faith in the context of a world in which such faith is always conflicted, always threatened. Brontë's work dramatises the experience of imaginative faith that is always contested by the presence of other voices, other worldviews. Her characters cling to visionary faith in the face of death and mortality, awaiting and anticipating a final vindication, an eschatological fulfilment that always lies in a future beyond the scope of the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Marsden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441166300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441166302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 76","brand":"Simon Marsden","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579736604927,"sku":"9781441166302","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b295295-3d1b-42c5-a9d1-1253071b03c1.jpg?v=1763876295","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emily-bronte-and-the-religious-simon-marsden-9781441166302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
