"Literature, Religion, and the Evolution of Culture, 1660-1780"
chronicles changes in contentious politics and religion and their
varied representations in British letters from the mid-seventeenth
to the late eighteenth century. An uncertain trend toward tolerance
and away from painful discord significantly influenced authors who
reflected on and enhanced germane aspects of British literary and
intellectual life. The movement was stymied during the painful
Gordon Riots in June 1780, from which Britain needed to repair
itself.
Howard D. Weinbrot's broad-ranging interdisciplinary study
considers sermons, satire, political and religious polemic,
Anglo-French relations, biblical and theological commentary,
Methodism, legal history, and the novel. "Literature, Religion, and
the Evolution of Culture, 1660-1780" analyzes the texts and
contexts of several major and minor authors, including Daniel
Defoe, Charles Dickens, Olaudah Equiano, Maria De Fleury, Lord
George Gordon, Nathaniel Lancaster, Henry Sacheverell, Tobias
Smollett, and Edward Synge.
