Postmodern, Marxist, and Christian Historical Novels: Hope and the
Burdens of History argues historical novels can help readers
receive the burdens of history-meaning both the burdens of the
past, present, and future and the burden of living in time-and
develop a more robust conception of and concrete practice of hope.
Since the 1960s, historical novels have been a dominant literary
genre, but they have been influenced primarily not by Christian but
by postmodern and marxist thinkers and writers. This book provides
a theological and literary analysis of all three types of
historical novels-postmodern, marxist, and Christian-and outlines
what each school of thought can learn from each other regarding
historical understanding and hope. Using Jurgen Moltmann's theology
of hope and Frank Kermode's literary criticism as a theoretical
basis, the book offers readings of novels by Julian Barnes, A.S.
Byatt, Kazuo Ishiguro, Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Ian
McEwan, and Ursula LeGuin, among others, and ends with an extended
analysis of Marilynne Robinson's Gilead series.
