Exploring the surprising presence of Christian Science in American
literature at the turn of the 20th century, L. Ashley Squires
reveals the rich and complex connections between religion and
literature in American culture. Mary Baker Eddy's Church of Christ,
Scientist was one of the fastest growing and most controversial
religious movements in the United States, and it is no accident
that its influence touched the lives and work of many American
writers, including Frances Hodgson Burnett, Willa Cather, Theodore
Dreiser, Upton Sinclair, and Mark Twain. Squires focuses on
personal stories of sickness and healing-whether supportive or
deeply critical of Christian Science's recommendations -penned in a
moment when the struggle between religion and science framed
debates about how the United States was to become a modern nation.
As outsized personalities and outlandish rhetoric took to the
stage, Squires examines how the poorly understood Christian Science
movement contributed to popular narratives about how to heal the
nation and advance the cause of human progress.
