In the first dedicated study of the religious contents of sentimental literature, Claudia Stokes counters the long-standing characterization of sentimental piety as blandly nondescript and demonstrates that these works were in fact groundbreaking, assertive, and highly specific in their theological recommendations and endorsements. The Altar at Home explores the many religious contexts and contents of sentimental literature of the American nineteenth century, from the growth of Methodism in the Second Great Awakening and popular millennialism to the developing theologies of Mormonism and Christian Science. Through analysis of numerous contemporary religious debates, Stokes demonstrates how sentimental writers, rather than offering simple depictions of domesticity, instead manipulated these scenes to advocate for divergent new beliefs and bolster their own religious authority. On the one hand, the comforting rhetoric of domesticity provided a subtle cover for sentimental writers to advance controversial new beliefs, practices, and causes such as Methodism, revivalism, feminist theology, and even the legitimacy of female clergy. On the other hand, sentimentality enabled women writers to bolster and affirm their own suitability for positions of public religious leadership, thereby violating the same domestic enclosure lauded by the texts. The Altar at Home offers a fascinating new historical perspective on the dynamic role sentimental literature played in the development of innumerable new religious movements and practices, many of which remain popular today. 606 $aReligion and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSentimentalism in literature 606 $aChristianity in literature 606 $aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aReligious Studies. 615 0$aReligion and literature$xHistory 615 0$aSentimentalism in literature. 615 0$aChristianity in literature. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a810.9/3823 700 $aStokes$b Claudia$f1970-$01559424 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786516503321 996 $aThe altar at home$93824507 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03629nam 22005655 450 001 9910635396803321 005 20240508234348.0 010 $a9789811662140 010 $a9811662142 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-16-6214-0 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7158095 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7158095 035 $a(CKB)25732558100041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-16-6214-0 035 $a(EXLCZ)9925732558100041 100 $a20221215d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$a40 Years of Reform and Opening-up $eChina's Model and Experience /$fedited by Chaoyang Wang 205 $a1st ed. 2022. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Nature Singapore :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2022. 215 $a1 online resource (153 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Wang, Chaoyang 40 Years of Reform and Opening-Up Singapore : Palgrave Macmillan US,c2023 9789811662133 327 $aChapter 1: Several Theoretical Issues on China's Economic Restructuring -- Chapter 2: Economic Operational Mechanism: Market-centrism -- Chapter 3: On Socialist Market Economy - Why the Shift from a Planned Economy -- Chapter 4: On Inflation Since China's Reform and Opening-up -- Chapter 5: A Blueprint for Deepening Reform of the Urban Housing System -- Chapter 6: Economic Impact of WTO Entry and China's Policy Responses -- Chapter 7: Approaching Potential Growth Rate - A New Period of Rapid Economic Growth -- Chapter 8: New Focus in Opening-up Strategy: Playing an Active Role in Global Economic Governance -- Chapter 9: From Economic Instrument to Cornerstone of National Governance: Ultimate Objectives of the New Round of Structural Fiscal and Taxation Reforms -- Chapter 10: Rapid Growth of China's Financial Industry: Causes and Risks. 330 $aThis book consists of studies on China's economic development since China carried out the reform and opening-up strategy, including China's economic restructuring, economic operational mechanism, socialist market economy, in?ation, the reform of the urban housing system, the economic impact of WTO entry, the future potential growth rate, global economic governance, structural ?scal and taxation reforms, the rapid growth of China's ?nancial industry, and more.
