Drawing on extensive knowledge of the Anglican church in the nineteenth century, Marianne Thormählen shows how the Brontës' familiarity with the contemporary debates on doctrinal, ethical and ecclesiastical issues informs their novels. Divided into four parts, the book examines denominations, doctrines, ethics and clerics in the work of the Brontës. The analyses of the novels clarify the constant interplay of human and Divine love in the development of the novels. While demonstrating that the Brontës' fiction usually reflects the basic tenets of Evangelical Anglicanism, the book emphasises the characteristic spiritual freedom and audacity of the Brontës. Lucid and vigorously written, it will open up new perspectives for Brontë specialists and enthusiasts alike on a fundamental aspect of the novels greatly neglected in recent decades.The Brontës & ReligionChristianity and literatureEnglandHistory19th centuryEnglish fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticismEnglish fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismWomen and literatureEnglandHistory19th centuryChristian fiction, EnglishHistory and criticismTheology in literatureClergy in literatureChristianity and literatureHistoryEnglish fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticism.English fictionHistory and criticism.Women and literatureHistoryChristian fiction, EnglishHistory and criticism.Theology in literature.Clergy in literature.823/.8093823Thormählen Marianne1949-552740UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910782832703321Brontës and religion1265863UNINA
