The English Modernist Novel as Political Theology 1st Edition
The English Modernist Novel as Political Theology (1st Edition) by Charles Andrews reorients how we read early twentieth-century English fiction—revealing the ways novels functioned as sites of political and theological debate during an era of seismic social change.
This compelling study opens with vivid close readings and wide-ranging contextual analysis that bring canonical writers into dialogue with questions of sovereignty, ritual, and belief. Andrews navigates the landscapes of modernity with intellectual clarity, showing how narrative strategies reflect and contest the political-theological anxieties of Britain’s urban and imperial worlds. Ideal for scholars, graduate students, and thoughtful readers interested in literary theory, cultural history, and religion in modern life.
What makes this 1st Edition indispensable is its balanced mix of rigorous scholarship and readable prose. You’ll find fresh interpretations of familiar texts alongside persuasive arguments that connect literature to broader debates about authority, secularization, and civic identity. The book is especially relevant for readers in the UK, Europe, North America, and Australia seeking authoritative perspectives on English modernism and its contemporary resonances.
If you teach courses on modernist literature, political theology, or cultural studies, Andrews’ volume is a timely addition to your syllabus or research library. For collectors and academics alike, this first edition offers both intellectual value and long-term relevance.
