Carruthers argues that English antagonism towards Islam lies in part in the formation of English identities in early modern Reformation Protestantism. The book traces the transposing, and secularizing, of Reformation doctrines into a 'Protestant aesthetic'; of simplicity, individualism, and rationalism in the literature of Spenser and Milton. Wordsworth, Hardy, Eliot and Orwell, among others, perpetuate thisNew directions in religion and literature.Religion and literatureEnglandReligion and cultureEnglandProtestantismEnglandIslamophobiaEnglandReligion and literatureReligion and cultureProtestantismIslamophobia820.9382305.6970941Carruthers Jo886369MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820900703321England's secular scripture4021527UNINA
