In investigating the eighteenth-century novel, Alison Conway, David Alvarez, and their contributors shed light on what literature can say about toleration, and how it can produce and manage feelings of tolerance and intolerance. Largely reserved for intellectual historians and political philosophers, discussions of religious toleration are relatively limited, with very few literary scholars exploring the subject. Beginning with an overview of the historical debates surrounding the terms "toleration" and "tolerance," this book moves on to discuss the specific contribution that literature and literary modes have made to cultural history, studying the literary techniques philosophers, theologians, and political theorists used to frame the questions central to the idea and practice of religious toleration. By tracing the rhetoric employed by a wide range of authors, this book reveals the tropes and figures we associate with literary texts, delving into such topics as conversion as an instrument of power in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and the relationship between religious toleration and the rise of Enlightenment satire."--$cProvided by publisher 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 610 $aDefoe. 610 $aEnlightenment. 610 $aMerchant of Venice. 610 $aMilton. 610 $aShakespeare. 610 $aeighteenth-century novel. 610 $aliterary studies. 610 $aliterature and religion. 610 $aliterature. 610 $areligious toleration. 610 $arhetoric. 610 $asatire. 610 $atolerance. 610 $atropes. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9/382 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 702 $aAlvarez$b David, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aConway$b Alison, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793760903321 996 $aImagining Religious Toleration$93717031 997 $aUNINA
