By David James Gordon

Subjects: Modern Literature, Religion and literature, Atheism in literature, History and criticism, Literature, modern, history and criticism

Description: "Literary Atheism analyzes a number of oppositional engagements with the idea of God and, in general, explores the tension between the more absolute language of religion and the freer language of literature. Using the concept of perspective to unsettle religious absolutism, this book opens the work of various writers across the last two centuries to fresh insight and seeks to revise some current dogmas concerning morality, science, and politics."--BOOK JACKET.
