Divisions between Catholics and Protestants have been a feature of
English history since the Reformation. Even into the industrial
nineteenth century, age-old theological disagreements were the
cause of religious and cultural conflicts. The Old Enemies asks why
these ancient divisions were so deep, why they continued into the
nineteenth century and how novelists and poets, theologians and
preachers, historians and essayists reinterpreted the religious
debates. Michael Wheeler, a leading authority on the literature and
theology of the period, explains how each side misunderstood the
other's deeply held beliefs about history, authority, doctrine and
spirituality, and, conversely, how these theological conflicts were
a source of inspiration and creativity in the arts. This
wide-ranging, well-illustrated study sheds light on
nineteenth-century history, literature and religion.
