This book takes up the controversial subject of Dickens and religion, and offers a significant contribution to the interdisciplinary area of religion and literature. In a close study of major novels, it argues that networks of biblical allusion reveal the Judeo-Christian grand narrative as key to his development as a writer, and as the ontological ground on which he stands to appeal to ‘the conscience of a Christian people. Engaging the biblical narrative in dialogue with other contemporary narratives that concern themselves with origins, destinations, and hermeneutic decipherments, the inimitable Dickens affirms the Bibles still-active role in popular culture.The providential thinking of two twentieth-century theorists, Bakhtin and Ricoeur, sheds light on an exploration of Dickenss narrative theology.Jennifer GribbleLITERARY CRITICISM / Subjects & Themes / ReligionRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / GeneralHBZHT020645088978-0-367-50865-4HT020645088Thenineteenth century seriesOnline-Ausgabe978-0-367-50866-1294/200002000019C DIC Z2100146611EAGN11383612020111620210210EAGN1138rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3DEAGN1138 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1087910 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1087910/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1087910
