This collection of essays focuses on the role of spirituality in
American literature through an examination of the multiple ways in
which a deep engagement with the spiritual has shaped and affected
literature in the Americas (three of the essays involve Canadian
and Caribbean literature). The essays in the first section explore
the intimate links between the spiritual and the social as they are
manifested in forms of fiction like fantasy, science fiction, and
the Christian fundamentalist fiction of Jerry B. Jenkins. The
second section looks at the ways in which poetry has allowed
writers as diverse as Emily Dickinson, Ellen Glasgow, Fanny Howe
and Leonard Cohen to use language as a tool for exploring their
complex relation to the spiritual seen in terms of radical
otherness, or of exile, or of the search for common ground as human
beings. The final section approaches spirituality as a defining
element of the American experience, from Nathaniel Hawthorne to
Toni Morrison and Paul Auster.
