Returning to Coleridge's thought and Shakespeare criticism to reconstruct this idea as a form of "poetic faith", Michael Tomko here lays the foundations of a new theologically oriented mode of literary criticism. Bringing Coleridge into dialogue with thinkers ranging from Augustine to Josef Pieper, contemporary critics such as Stephen Greenblatt and Terry Eagleton as well as writers like J.R.R. Tolkien and Wendell Berry, Beyond the Willing Suspension of Disbelief offers a method of reading for post-secular literary criticism that is not only historically and politically aware but also deeply engaged with aesthetic form."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aNew directions in religion and literature. 606 $aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $2Literary theory 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 676 $a821.7 700 $aTomko$b Michael$01580099 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797789503321 996 $aBeyond the willing suspension of disbelief$93860736 997 $aUNINA
