Synopsis
Reading Genesis in the Long Eighteenth Century From Milton to Mary Shelley by Ana M. Acosta
Reviews
'Let me begin by commending Ashgate for publishing books that relate British literature to religious interests. In fact, parallel books listed on the back of Acosta's book virtually place it in a series of critical studies of religion and British literature of the last three centuries... The best part of this book is the synthesis of scholarship that emerges from the author's copious research. The result is encyclopedic work that presents an abundance of generalizing about the history of ideas...'Christianity and Literature
'Rigorously argued and drawing on a rich and diverse range of source materials it illuminates a number of fields of interest to eighteenth-century scholars, and offers a genuine contribution to our understanding of the intellectual, spiritual, and literary history of the period.'
Religion and the Arts
'This is a complex and thought-provoking book, and one that is a valuable addition to scholarship on the Enlightenment generally, and also on the eighteenth century, underlining as it does the need for flexible chronologies... an excellent text, and well worth reading for anyone interested not just in the eighteenth century but also in more recent developments in philosophical and theological, as well as literary, thought.'
