{"product_id":"good-words-mark-knight-9780814213933","title":"Good Words: Evangelicalism and the Victorian Novel","description":"This new study explores how evangelicalism played a vital role in the development of the Victorian novel. In contrast to those who see the evangelical movement as trivial to our histories of the novel and part of the losing side in religion's battle with secularity, \u003ci\u003eGood Words: Evangelicalism and the Victorian Novel\u003c\/i\u003e examines fiction by major writers of the nineteenth century-Thackeray, Dickens, Wood, MacDonald, Collins, and Butler-and reveals the extent to which the novel was shaped by evangelical thought and practice.\u003cbr\u003e Rather than getting lost in historical and theological rabbit holes, \u003ci\u003eGood Words\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers to think about why evangelicalism still matters for the stories we tell about fiction in the Victorian period. The result has major implications for our understanding of the Victorian novel, our conception of the relationship between nineteenth-century literature and religion, the way in which we think about evangelical culture in the modern world, and our ideas about the practices and protocols of scholarly reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Knight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814213936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814213933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020","brand":"Mark Knight","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947307696383,"sku":"9780814213933","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3b275272-f9c3-4b76-ace4-7579075b2ae9.jpg?v=1681517947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/good-words-mark-knight-9780814213933","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
