Winter Jade Werner makes this surprising connection in order to write against standard understandings of missionary work as well as typical understandings of cosmopolitanism as a deeply secular project. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMissionary Cosmopolitanism \u003c\/i\u003eidentifies the nineteenth-century novel as thematically and formally attuned to the tension between missionaries' cosmopolitan values and the moral impoverishment of their imperialist and expansionist practices. Werner's chapters interact with canonical works such as Charlotte Brontë's \u003ci\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/i\u003e and Charles Dickens's \u003ci\u003eBleak House, \u003c\/i\u003e along with lesser-known works by Robert Southey and Sydney Owenson. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eMissionary Cosmopolitanism\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that nineteenth-century literature both illustrated and helped define missionary discourses regarding cosmopolitan ideas, showing how global evangelicalism continues to tap into the \"new cosmopolitanisms\" of today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Winter Jade Werner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814214266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814214268\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 06\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\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 04\/01\/2021","brand":"Winter Jade Werner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983591342335,"sku":"9780814214268","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e38dfa6a-30bf-449e-b929-cd84653520b1.jpg?v=1683267560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/missionary-cosmopolitanism-in-nineteenth-century-british-winter-jade-werner-9780814214268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
