Drawing on extensive knowledge of the Anglican church in the nineteenth century, Marianne Thorma?hlen shows how the Bronte?s' 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 Bronte?s. The analyses of the novels clarify the constant interplay of human and Divine love in the development of the novels. While demonstrating that the Bronte?s' fiction usually reflects the basic tenets of Evangelical Anglicanism, the book emphasises the characteristic spiritual freedom and audacity of the Bronte?s. Lucid and vigorously written, it will open up new perspectives for Bronte? specialists and enthusiasts alike on a fundamental aspect of the novels greatly neglected in recent decades. 517 3 $aThe Bronte?s & Religion 606 $aChristianity and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEnglish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChristian fiction, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheology in literature 606 $aClergy in literature 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aChristian fiction, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheology in literature. 615 0$aClergy in literature. 676 $a823/.8093823 700 $aThorma?hlen$b Marianne$f1949-$0552740 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782832703321 996 $aBrontės and religion$91265863 997 $aUNINA
