Although sometimes religion and sexuality are treated as an
aberrant theme in American literary and religious history, American
writers from Nathaniel Hawthorne to John Updike have been
fascinated with the connection between religious and sexual
experience. Through the voice of American fiction, Religion and
Sexuality in American Literature examines the relations of body and
spirit (religion and sexuality). Using both canonical and
non-canonical fiction, Ann-Janine Morey examines novels dealing
with the ministry as the medium wherein so many of the tensions of
religion and sexuality are dramatised and then moves to
contemporary novels that deal with moral and religious issues
through metaphor. Based upon a sophisticated and selective
application of metaphor theory, deconstruction and feminist
postmodernism, Morey argues that while American fiction has
replicated many traditional animosities, there are also some rather
surprising resources here for commonality between men and women if
we acknowledge and understand the intimate relationship between
language and physical life.
