The influence of Christianity on literature has been great
throughout history, as has been the influence of the great
Christian, Augustine. Augustine and Literature considers the
influence of Augustine on the theory and practice of an academic
discipline of which he himself was not a practitioner-literature,
especially poetry and fiction. The essays in this volume explore
the many influences of Augustine on literature, most obviously in
terms of themes and symbols, but also more pervasively perhaps in
proving that literature strives for meaning through and beyond the
fictional or metaphorical surface. The authors discussed in these
essays, from Dante and Milton to O'Connor and Faulkner, all
demonstrate a common concern that literature must be attentive to
the highest things and the deepest journeys of the soul. Together
these essays offer a compelling argument that literature and
Augustine do belong together in the common task of guiding the soul
toward the truth it desires.
