This book reveals a synergy between postsecularity - as a critique
of emergent liberal secular ideals and practices - and the modern
literary sphere, in which conservative writers feature prominently.
Corrinne Harol argues boldly yet compellingly that influential
literary forms and practices including fiction, mental freedom,
worlding, reading, narration, and historical fiction are in fact
derived from these writers' responses to secularization.
Interrogating a series of concepts - faith, indulgence, figuring,
reading, passivity, revolution, and nostalgia - central to secular
culture, this study also engages with works by Aphra Behn, John
Dryden, Margaret Cavendish and Walter Scott, as well as attending
to the philosophies of Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, and Edmund Burke.
Countering eighteenth-century studies' current overreliance on the
secularization narrative (as content and method, fact and norm),
this book models how a postsecular approach can help us to
understand this period, and secularization itself, more fully.
