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.
