Eugene England championed an optimistic Mormon faith open to
liberalizing ideas from American culture. At the same time, he
remained devoted to a conservative Mormonism that he saw as a
vehicle for progress even as it narrowed the range of acceptable
belief. Kristine L. Haglund views England's writing through the
tensions produced by his often-opposed intellectual and spiritual
commitments. Though labeled a liberal, England had a traditional
Latter-day Saint background and always sought to address
fundamental questions in Mormon terms. His intellectually
adventurous essays sometimes put him at odds with Church
authorities and fellow believers. But he also influenced a
generation of thinkers and cofounded Dialogue, a Mormon academic
and literary journal acclaimed for the broad range of its thought.
A fascinating portrait of a Mormon intellectual and his times,
Eugene England reveals a believing scholar who emerged from the
lived experiences of his faith to engage with the changes roiling
Mormonism in the twentieth century.
