Susan Griffin uncovers and analyses the important but neglected
body of anti-Catholic fiction written between the 1830s and the
turn of the century in both Britain and America. Griffin examines
Anglo-American anti-Catholicism and reveals how this sentiment
provided Victorians with a set of political, cultural and literary
tropes through which they defined themselves as Protestant and
therefore normative. She draws on a broad range of writing
including works by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Charles Kingsley, Henry
James, Charlotte Bronte and a range of lesser-known writers.
Griffin traces how nineteenth-century writers constructed a Church
of Rome against which 'America', 'Britain' and 'Protestant' might
be identified and critiqued. This book will be essential reading
for scholars working on British Victorian literature as well as
nineteenth-century American literature; it will be of interest to
scholars of literary, cultural and religious studies.
