Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Exploring novels by Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Evelyn Waugh,
and Sylvia Townsend Warner as political theology – works that
imagine a resistance to the fusion of Christianity and patriotism
which fueLled and supported the First World War – this book shows
how we can gain valuable insights from their works for
anti-militarist, anti-statist, and anti-nationalist efforts today.
While none of the four novelists in this study were committed
Christians during the 1920s, Andrews explores how their fiction
written in the wake of the first World War operates theologically
when it challenges English civil religion – the rituals of the
nation that elevate the state to a form of divinity. Bringing these
novels into a dialogue with recent political theologies by
theorists and theologians including Giorgio Agamben, William
Cavanaugh, Simon Critchley, Michel Foucault, Stanley Hauerwas and
Jürgen Moltmann, this book shows the myriad ways that we can learn
from the authors’ theopolitical imaginations. Andrews
demonstrates the many ways that these novelists issue a challenge
to the problems with civil religion and the sacralized nation state
and, in so doing, offer alternative visions to coordinate our inner
lives with our public and collective actions.
